This sort of thing is exactly why I don't take naps anymore. It happened a few too many times and it’s genuinely a horrible experience. Incredibly vivid. I got the sensation I could feel my actual body being unable to move. So no more naps no matter how tired I am.

    Did you know that if you smoke weed every day, you will stop dreaming entirely? It messes with REM sleep, but it's the only way I can get any sleep at all; legalization was a quite a few years ago now where I live so I haven't had a dream in forever.

    Just something to consider if you have easy access to cannabis in your jurisdiction.

    I found I am way more likely to experience weird, nightmare-ish bs if I sleep on my back, or when I drank some alcohol. Maybe there are factors that control it for you as well.

    Sleeping on my back and extreme tiredness used to make it more likely for me to experience sleep paralysis.

    But I haven't experienced those in a long time, even if often sleep on my back.
