Sleep Paralysis

I guess these black figures we see as a hallucination is a warning sign for us to wake up because we are not sleeping right.

If you are suddenly notice you get it while sleeping on your back and you are having trouble breathing, it might be worth looking into a sleep study for sleep apnea. If you are prone to allergies or asthma, that could also cause that.

Tho I have also got hallucinations from dehydration and being sleep deprive. Even if monster/ghosts/demon were real, I am not really scared of them.

Stomach sleeping seemed to cause it to happen to me as well. Another factor was waking up in the middle of the night and having trouble getting back to sleep. That also seemed to trigger episodes.

Yeah, I had sleep paralysis a few times in high school and college (when my sleep schedule was even worse than it currently is ). It can be scary being awake but unable to move or speak! I know some people have hallucinations that go along with it, but I've been lucky and haven't had any so far. Although once I fell asleep at the dining room table of a shared house I was living in, and got sleep paralysis paired with a feeling of being watched/paranoia/anxiety. It was late at night/early morning. I was the last person awake in the house and had a strong feeling that I needed to get away from some danger immediately, but couldn't move. So that wasn't fun...

I do. Quite often, especially when I'm sleeping alone (I share a bedroom with my sisters)
One time I couldn't move, and saw tall figure of a man. I can only see below his crotch (I was sleeping sideways), so I don't know what he looks like.
He kept saying things like "you'll never be able to move" and "you'll never wake up again"; and it freaks me out. It was the longest sleep paralysis for me. I tried to turn my face away until I woke up. I woke up with a sore on my neck as if I actually forced to turn it (like it wasn't just a dream).
I still have different hallucinations, but that one scares me the most.
