Once as a teenager - and I was convinced that there was a tiny demon pulling at the bottom of my duvet while it was happening. I could hear a little growling sound and a tugging sensation at my feet . (edit: Yes, we had a dog. No, it wasn't the dog!)

It's not always an anxiety thing, it can be down to bad or messed up sleep patterns, it used to often be called "Night Nurse's Paralysis" because it's common in nurses who work varying shift patterns and have to regularly switch from day shifts to night shifts and back again.

I suspect it happened to me when I was a teen because my sleep pattern was ****ing stupid... I used to sleep 2am - 6am and then "nap" 4pm - 7pm. Honestly I didn't have anything resembling a normal sleep pattern until I had kids. Ironically.

Years ago when I was a teenager I went through a few months of having it every so often, it's horrible

I actually went through a demon related nightmare stage(it was actually the devil with cloven feet and all) when I was a teenager too, one in particular where I became aware that I was dreaming but I could only control what I was doing in the dream so I curled up in a ball on the ground to wait to wake up but I could feel the devil pulling at me and starting to drag me along the ground

No I haven't thank God but a friend of mine had the demon one when we were in our teens, she thought it was due to her occult practices and joined a pentacostal church! Lol it wasn't for me

Only once. Scariest thing that's ever happened to me.
I couldn't move and this freakish figure was approaching me
