      Scary Experience | Advice please

      I had a very scary experience during a nap I had earlier, and I was hoping I could get some advice and help on defining what it is.

      Earlier today I took a nap, and near the end I was having a pretty random dream that I don't remember much. When it ended, I neither went unconscious nor woke up. I was in a state where I was not in a dream, everything was completely black, but I was entirely aware. It felt sort of like sleep paralysis, except instead of being unable to move in my bed, I wasn't even in my room. I wasn't anywhere. I usually have no trouble waking up from dreams, but I wasn't able to at all. Trust me I was trying lol

      A couple times throughout this I did have false awakenings into dreams. In one of them I was back in the original random dream, which took me a minute to realize but when I did I went back to "the black". In another one I had a typical false awakening in my bed, realized right away I was still dreaming, and (pretty stupidly because I was scared) went to my parents and tried to tell them to wake me up. Then I went back to the black.

      I was trying very hard to wake up or scream and eventually, after what felt like a few minutes, my head jerked and I woke up. I'm pretty freaked out about this and, while I know its not logical, am actually a little bit anxious about going back to sleep.

      Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Is it a form of sleep paralysis? Any advice?

      Thank you for reading!

      Edit: I'm actually 20 yrs old, my signature is super old and I can't find where to change it. (feel free to tell me haha)
