Swiss sleep paralysis

Date: 3/29/2019

Every time I started to fall asleep I thought my boyfriend was trying to kill me. I couldn't breath, I thought he was strangling me, but I knew that I was asleep, so I would pry my eyes open and wake myself up. This happened 3 or 4 times, and the last time it was the worst he was on top of me, strangling me and i couldn't take a breath. I knew I was sleeping but I was still so scared and literally couldn't breathe. I went to pry my eyes open, but I couldn't move my arms. I tried to sit up but I was stuck, I screamed but I didnt know if it worked in real life or if it was just in the dream. After about 1 minute, I was able to lift my arms up to my face and pry my eyes open, waking myself up.
