Did I just have sleep paralysis?

Something really strange just happened. I don't know exactly what it was. So before I tell the story, I should also say that I had nightmares last night that scared me.
So, what happened was, about 20 minutes ago, my mum came into my room and chatted with me briefly. After that, I was almost asleep again. But then, after 10 minutes, my alarm went off. That means I was jolted from my half-sleep twice. After I turned off my alarm, I lay back down and dreamed a little. The nightmare briefly replayed itself, and I thought about it because the dream felt so incredibly real.

And then something really strange happened. I suddenly heard a really strange melody, like, really heard it, and I panicked and wanted to quickly turn on my light. But I couldn't move anymore, or rather, something was pushing me down. My body felt really strange, everything was tingling. But I stayed calm and tried to move my two fingers, and then the feeling went away after a minute or two.

Was that sleep paralysis??

sounds exactly like a sleep paralysis 😀 Also fits at the time that was awakened shortly before and so.

Sleep paralysis is not a disease!

This is a protection from nightly wandering in a dream. Every healthy person is protected by it.

In the flat sleep phase, we are often not aware of sleeping. Therefore, the sense of time is “false”.

As for the dream, look for its possible meaning here:
