Many people have experienced that kind of dreams where you can't move, you're in your own place and you see a "shadow person".
Many friends told me about this experience and the curious thing, at least 3 of them experienced this while they were watching Netflix. (they woke up with the message on the screen "are you there?")
Do you had this kind of dreams?
Were you watching Netflix?
it's super scary, coz when you're dreaming your room looks exacly the same.
and a man/witch or whatever is in ur room
you can't move and you're crying for help...
edit: nvm i thought you were talking about sleep paralysis
I have had the experience of not being able to move, has happened to me a few times over recent months. However I have never seen a 'shadow person' or anything similar to that.
Your story remind me of that **** movie about escorts, and that black twink is a complete fem but he acts like a sexually dominant hoodrat when he's working.

I haven't had this exactly but one time I was falling asleep but then I woke up and had this intense feeling of fear but I was too sleepy to care but it was powerful

I ran here because this happens to my dad all the time, and he feels like someone is chocking him .. but it never has anything to do with Netflix lol ?
That's just sleep paralysis. I've had it happen while I was on sleeping pills and it freaked me tf out. A lot of people think it's supernatural but it's not; just scary as hell. IDK what the Netflix bit is about tho.
There's actually an awesomely creepy documentary about it on Netflix called The Nightmare. One of the people in the documentary actually said that they started experiencing sleep paralysis after a friend told them about their experiences with it. I wonder if your friends watched this documentary before they started experiencing it. Creepy.
I experience sleep paralysis quite often since several years, but I've heard things more than I have seen things. Luckily, I never saw 'demonic' figures, nor had people sitting on me like most claim to have seen. I have seen the infamous 'shadow' though, but it's mostly harmless and never really has a human figure. It normally just stands there or float around. The most scary thing is the sounds for me. I have heard footsteps in my room, and the most terrifying one ever was a woman whispering my name very close to my ear. I could even feel her next to me.
It doesn't always happen when I'm asleep either... I'll be walking down the street, hear a noise, I'll turn around and see a shadow not too far behind me... I start running but it feels like no matter how much I run, it's ALWAYS right behind me!

I don't think I've had anything similar to this, but I usually fall asleep listening to some kind of music or watching Netflix.
I think I've felt sleep paralysis before. Recently, I fell asleep watching something on my computer. I drifted off to sleep at some point. Eventually, I felt something overbearing in the room, like someone was standing right over me staring me down. I couldn't move or wake up for awhile and I wanted to get up and move around to see it, and I was pretty terrified that I couldn't. Finally, I was able to get awake, flipped over (since I usually sleep on my stomach) with a quickness, and hit my nearby computer for some immediate light. Nothing was there obviously, and I knew and could feel that nobody was there as soon as I woke up and looked around, but it was still pretty unnerving.

I had a very scary dream last night actually. In my dream I lived in this house and the attic has a ghost/demon in there. I remember I was kicking and banging on the ceiling to let the ghost/demon know I'm in charge. I opened the enternece to in attic and I put salt all around the edges of it and closed it. Later on there were tons of people at the house, and people were saying that they hear banging and screams coming from the attic. So I went upstairs to check it out (someone the enterance to the attic went from the ceiling to the floor) it turned into some 'evil dead' ****, the enterance had a chain to lock the demon inside. And the demon was a female and it looked like the grudge. And it popping the door open as far as it could and it keep looking at me. I was confused because I put salt around the edges. And then I realized that it was fake salt, so that's why the demon was active. So I grabbed the fake salt and started throwing it at the demon when it kept on looking at me (like evil dead) but every time I scream at the top of my lungs and then I woke up...
I woke up because my partner heard me screaming so loudly in my sleep (during the time I was throwing the salt) and the scariest part of it all.... I only use fake salt on my food. The fake salt container was the same one I was throwing at the demon in my dream.
It's completely normal to "see things" when your mind is in the half-awake state, though. It's part of the sleep process but sometimes people's brain wake up when the rest of the body and some other senses don't.
When that happens just try to stay calm and relax, that'll make the experience more tolerable and you'll fully wake up eventually.
