Not sure what to make of what happened to me.. I remember sleeping later than normal, I work early so it was unusual for me to be up so late 2ish.. My Dog a terrier, barks at the slightest thing and at one point he started growling loud at nothing. So I told him to shut Up but he would not let up! I stood up and he jumped up on the bed and started barking at the wall.. I looked with him but nothing.. That night I experienced "sleep paralysis" the funny thing was that so did my dog.... He sleeps on my chest or near my face.. While I was trying to wake up I felt my dog squirming and shaking like he never had before... He was even whimpering I prayed to God to get me out of this and I literally felt something get off the bed in A hury... That instant a ball of light came in the room like a golden white I tried sitting up but I just fell back asleep peeking I saw my dog approach the light. That was the last thing I remember I woke up with little scratch marks on my chest from my dog trying to wake up. There is more to this #sleepparalysis  thing I know it!
