I have sleep apnea and I believe I was not breathing. It kicked off a fight or flight scenario in my body which caused me to convulse. I could see in my mind that there was this entanglement soup where my vision should be of intense foamy colors and I could feel myself raging trying to fight through these colors. Then slowly I woke up to the letter X covering my vision and I woke up gasping. And my chest hurt.
I don't have sleep apnea, but I have has sleep paralysis a lot before, kinda sounds like the same thing. It isn't a dream.
Sometimes I see a figure in my room, or a cat on my chest, but more often it is just swirling darkness at the foot of my bed.
You should watch the documentary The Nightmare, and see of it reminds you of anything.
When I was a boy in my parents house I would see black shimmer. It would be there just quickly. So I would panic and turn the light on and the shimmer would just be there in the corner of my eye and would disappear. I was so paranoid and so frightened that I'd leave the hallway light on and close my parents' door so I would have comfort. I saw my mom's doppelganger once. I wet my bed when I was like 11 or 12, really embarrassing but hey you know. So I'm changing my pants and I see my mom walking down the stairs and I said hi Mom I wet my bed, I'm changing my clothes can I come sleep next to you? She said fine, go to the room I'll be there soon. I go to the bedroom within 30 seconds and she's lying fast asleep. I say Mom, Mom I'm here, and she goes what are you talking about. I said Mom we just talked in the hallway and you said come here and jump in the bed because I wet myself. She told me she doesn't know what I'm talking about and thinks I'm crazy. Weird shit in that house.

i have told the story so many times before on this website as well as Voat, but let me know if you haven't heard it, I will tell it again.
I haven't heard it so if you want to copy paste I'm all eyes.
