[TheForgotton]

I haven't had any attacks in a while, but there was a time when I had episodes fairly often. I could usually tell that it was coming when a feeling of dread started to intrude on the dream. I would enter a room or turn around in the one I was in and see a black hooded figure that was exuding the feeling of blackness. As the figure started walking closer, I found myself unable to move. When it finally touched me, I would wake, often after feeing an electric shock-like sensation over my whole body, but still not being able to move for some time. Trying to talk or scream seemed to help break the spell though I don't think I've ever gotten a sound out.
