I have had this happen twice. While falling asleep, I seem to find my "self" in between being in my body and in the dream realm. It is a black void where there is nothing, I am only a spec of existence and am trying desperately to either move my body which I can somewhat still feel or scream for help to my room mate who is in the room sleeping next to me. It is very frightening. The first time there was a figure there electrocuting me and screaming obscenities. However, last night, there was no one and I was simply terrified to death I would be there forever!

Any ideas on what might be happening? Thank you!
