So this just happened

Ok, so I was just outside meditating. I was under a tree that I talk to sometimes and connect with, not in the moonlight but the full moon was out. I started feeling this presence behind me and I couldn't pinpoint it. Like that feeling you get when someone is standing behind you and the hair on the back of your neck rises. Then the feeling of the presence shifted and it felt like it had entered me. I'm not sure how to describe it, but that's the feeling I got. I couldn't move and I started internally freaking out and wanting to get up, but I couldn't. I could minorly move my head and shift my eyes, but that was it. finally I was able to move my head to the side, but I was still unable to get up. Then I felt what i can only describe as like a 'whoosh' feeling and it knocked me off balance, and suddenly I had full control again and the presence was gone.
I had been trying to ask my spirit guide that if he/she was there to possibly come to me in my dreams tonight and make themselves known. I don't know if this was my spirit guide or if it was something else, or even my own imagination, but I never had any experience like this before and truthfully I'm a little scared. I don't have good internal site, so when it was 'inside' me I was unable to see it or really sense what it was. Any insight to what could have possibly happened would be extremely appreciated. I'm a little shaken from the experience because I'm still very new to all this and have never had anything like that happen before.

Could you tell if the presence was good or bad?

Unfortunately no. It felt, as far as I could tell, neutral. But I had started internally freaking out and was scared, so I don't know if that was just me not handling the new sensation well or if it was because it was negative. My husband is better at sensing presences and has more control over his own energy and the energy around him, so when him and I have a free night we're going to go back outside and meditate together and see if it happens again. He'll be able to sense whatever it was better than I can currently, so if it comes back or happens again I'll know more about it.
A couple people suggested I was connecting with the energy around me, but the problem I find with that is that the presence was directly behind me to my right in one concentrated area, like a person or an animal, before it moved inside of me. I haven't noticed anything off or odd the past days after it happened so I don't think it was anything with ill intent.

Was it ecstatic? Did you feel high? Does your fingers grasp together that you can't open them?

^ Oops last question should be past tense.

I wouldn't say it was ecstatic or that I felt high, and I didn't notice my fingers clasp together. I'm starting to think that my inability to move was my own fear of the sensation of the energy inside me paralyzing me. I sat outside again tonight, I wasn't meditating this time and my husband was with me, and I didn't feel any presence or anything abnormal.
I think next full moon I will try to meditate again. If it happens again, I'll be more prepared and try to focus and figure out what is really happening, but for now there's been no impact negative or positive due to the experience, so I'll let it be.

meditation can be so restful that you come out feeling like you just had a good nap. If this happened, I wonder if sleep paralysis would be what you experienced. Just a thought, as your description led me to that thought immediately. Yes, do try that again. I would be interested if it happens again. Blessed Be...
