About a year ago I experienced what would be called hypnagogia. I was up really late and had an old song stuck in my head while I laid on my bed. I sung a line from the song over and over in my head and before I knew it I was asleep. But then I "woke up" violently. I could not move and it felt like something was pulling me upward off of my bed and through my wall. I felt an evil prescence in the room with me and I saw a shadowy figure at my bed. I prayed for it to stop and after it was over I was so scared that I went out into the living room and slept on the floor with my dog. I didn't want to be alone.

At the time I didn't know about hypnagogia. I, a person who would never believe in aliens, was starting to think that I had been abducted. Luckily I found some information on hypnagogia though to clear my worries. It has happened to me twice more since then, and it was just as terrifying each time. You would think that your brain would recognize what's going on since it's happened before, but mine doesn't. I don't realize what has happened until it's over.

I really hope this never happens to me again. It's a horrible feeling.
