I had three bouts of this when I was 14 and it made me absurdly terrified. To the point I refused to entertain sleep in case it should happen again.
It is awful.
I've heard it described as old hag syndrome. Google that. Never sleep.
Eyes wide open, laid flat on my back. I remember trying to get up and realising nothing was happening. It dawned on me at this point that something was quite wrong. The worst development being that I tried to shout my parents...and NOTHING came out of my mouth. I could feel my muscles were like lead and even trying to lift my arm was surreal.
It took 3 minutes or so before I could even begin to get out of the bed.
I have never had the visions aassociated with it, but can imagine that such an occurrence would simply scar you.
