You were feeling the same sensation, but since you were still dreaming you didn't have the "seeing myself laying in my bedroom" experience everyone else does. The choking is actually something called sleep paralysis. Don't worry, it's not as severe as it sounds. It's simply when your mind gets lucid to the fact that you're dreaming, but your body is stuck between dreaming and waking so it can't move. This is typically where people get the sensation that something "unseen" is holding them down. No, it's just your body refusing to let go of the dream and getting itself stuck.

Hope this helps!
Omg thank you SO MUCH. This REALLY helped and made so much sense! You are correct my body does have a hard time coming out of dream mode :/. Sometime I have woken up and thought I was someone else . Ever since my anxiety got worse my dreams have been like that. XD I've been so scared that I'm being haunted ! Because I have dreams like this a lot. Sometimes I wake up with goose bumps. But really, than you .. I'm less afraid now.
