I am sorry you had such a bad experience. I can relate to having bad dreams/experiences and not being able to wake or shake it off. I have had 5-6 episodes were I woke and could not move, sleep paralysis I believe it was. I think this is something that should be discussed with your therapist. I noticed from your other post you had some concerns about PTSD and that is a good thing to figure out and work through. I hope you have a better night tonight. I am sending you my best wishes and thoughts.
