Is this sleep paralysis?
I just woke up from possibly the scariest situation of my life a few minutes ago and need help deciding if this was paralysis or just a dream. I was having a dream where I was watching a video about Star Wars when it suddenly ended and I was lying in bed curled up in a ball, suddenly, my door opened and an Ewok walked through and ran straight my my bed and club my head, but right instead of feeling anything, it was right back next to my bedside with its hand on my shoulder and club raised in the air. It just stood there for the next few seconds, maybe a minute max. I tried kicking it or throwing myself from the bed at it but I couldn’t so much as budge, it felt as if an invisible force was holding me in a perfect me shaped bubble. all I could do was move my eyes towards it or breathe. I did what I knew I could and started rapidly breathing, trying to scare it or at least provoke it into killing me but it still just stood, watching me. Suddenly though I blinked and it was gone, I was in my room still but I could move again, I just was too scared to do it. Also thinking back to it, my whole room seemed darker when it was still here. For context I’m 16 years old and I was thinking about my dead cat before going to bed. I know this sounds dumb with an Ewok but this was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced. It felt so much more real than any other dream I’ve had. Apologies for poor grammar or spelling as I’m still shaking. The only reason I’m posting this is because I’m afraid to go back to sleep at 5:30 am.
TL;DR: Ewok burst into my room, grabbed my shoulder, held a club to my head, I couldn’t move, then it was gone and I could move again.
Edit: I’m sorry, I just saw the identifying sleep paralysis post, feel free to comment on this post with any advice to clear things up further though or just give your first experience with this shit because hearing other people’s stories may help me identify mine.
