Hi,

This happened a few nights ago...

I suddenly awoke but couldn't move, not a muscle. I sensed that there was a presence in my room at the end of my bed. I could even make out a shadow!!

I started to panic and kept on trying to move but couldn't, I am not sure what happened next or how!

I sit up and turn on the light switch at the side of my bed. Well the light doesn't come on! I look around the room for a few seconds trying to make things out in the darkness but then...

I wake up and immediately turn on the light switch and it works!! I was so puzzled and weirded out by this I stayed awake all night!!

I have had this happen to me a couple of times where I have had sleep paralysis but nothing quite like that, it's like I woke up twice!

I didn't quite know where to post this and since I am new here I thought the Newbie Section would be fitting?

I would like to ask, has anyone else experienced this before and what exactly would the technical term be for what happened to me?
