everytime i sleep I die

Yesterday I felt like I dyed. My mum came into the room and I was screaming and screaming but she wasn't hearing me and nothing in my body could move just my eyes and my mum was shaking me so hard thinking I was possessed or something because I was sleeping with my eyes wide open and I couldn't do anything and my chest hurt so bad because something was pushing down on me and I felt a presence which forced me to keep my eyes open and I couldn't see anything clearly it just felt so heavy on my heart.. and then whenI'm alone and no one is there I just see a bright white light which frustrates me so bad because i can't close my eyes help.

I#m onnly 13 and I don't nkow what to do i don't want to sleep anymore this happens so often and i don't know how to stop dreaming like this.pls heelp me I'm teriffied.

sounds like sleep paralysis
I think this is called a waking dream, sleep paralysis, or a night terror - one my little cousins used to get them. They’re scary - as you found out - but basically harmless and surprisingly common - between 8% and 50% of people have at least one in their life. Just try and keep as calm as possible.

Have you tried sleeping on your side or your front instead of your back? Wikipedia tells me that might help.

Aww I'm sorry, it sounds like sleep paralysis. I don't think it's harmful, but you should definitely see a doctor and tell your parents about it. I hope you get better soon :smile:

I absolutely hate it. You know just talking about it increases the chance of it happening to you...
Yep definitely sleep paralysis, i suffer from this all the time as well for me it's because of stress, most of the time i'm being strangled and i feel like i'm being dragged around by my neck, i try scream out for help but nothing comes out, i then wake up with really bad cramping in my back and sometimes i have dreams within dreams. You have to tell yourself that you're just dreaming, I've heard of people training themselves to turn these 'attacks' into lucid dreams which i'm sure comes with practice and being absolutely calm during the attack but if its happening often then research is probably the best thing you can do. I told my doctor about it and he didn't really do anything, seems like something you have to help yourself with :/
