There's a medical term for it but it slips my mind right now but you're good to go!

it's called sleep paralysis. it is what I am talking about in my "episode" too. Absolutely terrifying experience. A lot of alien encounters and other "unexplainable" events are more likely than not a byproduct of this natural phenomenon. This experience is found in almost every region and culture of the world. A rational explanation makes it none the less scary when it is happening though.
