Wow, that is hardcore SP right there. You even had the "demon on your chest" sensation. I'm glad you knew how to handle yourself.
Can you imagine how terrifying this sort of thing was before science could explain these phenomena to us? Particularly in a day and age when people still commonly believed that demons existed!

No, this all sounds pretty normal. Sleep talking and sleep walking usually occur on the border of deep sleep, not REM sleep.

Why do people sleep talk? | Psychology Today
There are rare sufferers of REM behavior disorder, where they simply don't experience REM atonia. Needless to say, people without REM atonia are very dangerous people to sleep near! This doesn't at all sound like what you have, though. Sleep talking like what you do is very common. But that's all NREM. A sufferer of REM behavior disorder can break into a run, suddenly spring into full-out combat, etc. Scary! Wikipedia: Rapid eye movement behavior disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
