Sleep Paralysis
I was five or six when I first experienced it. I would "wake up" to find the room swirling with shadows and flames, everything was in black in white, terrible creatures would come crawling towards me, but I was definitely still in my room. Sometimes I'd even see or hear my parents, but they were always just out of reach. The most memorable part of the ordeal though, was the fact that I couldn't breathe. I'd try to yell for help, but no one would hear me or see me writhing for air because in reality, I wasn't moving at all. I was only a kid so I didn't know what was happening to me. As soon as I was able to move I'd go running into my parents' room screaming, "I can't breathe!" (While clearly breathing) and crying about what I'd just witnessed. Of course they didn't know what I was talking about and over the years they did everything they could to help. To them it was a combination of extremely vivid nightmares and asthma attacks.
