The subconscious creates the dream to wake you from a tired fitful sleep with the idea that you can't move cant scream and can't call for help. Your dream was a mild form of sleep paralysis dream. Many sleepers experience frightening ghosts or other mysterious presences in the dream. Some people people even experience physically pulled outof bed, onlyto wake up sitting up in bed.
Most sleep paralysis dreams happen when sleeping on the back or belly.

I did not know it was common, and thanks for the description. That makes sense.
I have had a few episodes and while one was mild, one was terrifying. I thought I was being choked. While I felt a presence, I did not see anyone. And yes, I was sleeping on my back in each instance.
Come to think of it, there were major life changes occurring around each one. I used to just have "bad dreams", but this is a whole new level of my subconscious getting involved. I hope they do not get worse, yikes.
