I was having one of my best friends stay the night with me and we weren't telling scary stories before bed time or watching scary movies in fact I think we were in bed by 11 since we had class the next day.
So there we were sleeping in the pitch dark which hasn't scared me since I was a child but I felt that I should mention how dark it was. I was mostly asleep or so I think? Ashia has stayed the night with me plenty of times before and she's never had issues with rolling over and hitting me in her sleep but..
Keep in mind this is just what I think happened I don't actually know if I was awake or asleep I think that's why my experience was so terrifying. Anyways so I think I'm drifting off to sleep maybe into my deeper sleep and I feel something hit my side pretty hard. Hard enough to wake me up( I think ).
Lying there I tried to tell myself it was just Ashia rolling over but then I realized I didn't feel her roll or move at all I only felt the hit. I opened my eyes and it was pitch black so I couldn't see her at all to see how close she was or was not. I thought maybe she hit me to see if I was still awake so we could continue to chat so I continued to lay there quietly and she never said or moved again.
As I'm laying there I'm starting to panic. Even sweating. My heart was pounding and that's when I realized I couldn't move or talk. I wanted to say her name so badly to see if she was awake. I wanted to reach over and turn on my lamp to see if she was awake. I laid there completely paralyzed with fear in the pitch black.
It was one of the most terrifying experiences I've ever had but I don't remember how I got myself back to sleep. I woke up the next morning thinking maybe it was a dream so I didn't mention anything to Ashia about my experience because I didn't want to freak her out.



You may want to check out "sleep paralysis." It's a state where your mind is about 1/2 awake but your body is still asleep. It "paralyses" itself when you sleep so that you don't act out your dreams or walk around. It's pretty interesting and that might be what happened to you.
