Nightmare or real

Hi all.
The last few years when I'm sleeping, it feels like I'm half awake. But I can't move. Also I feel some pressure on my body, as like someone or something is sitting on top of me. The only way for me to snap out of this dream like state, is to try screaming my way awake.

So I'm asking here for some info. What can it be. My friends tell me that it could be a succubus.
But I want to know for sure.
Thanks in advance.

Sincerely Luigi

Its called sleep paralysis and it is very common.

As Linda said, it is almost certainly sleep paralysis which is a perfectly normal phenomenon and not related to anything magical or supernatural.

Its just common sleep paralysis. Doctors can prescribe non habit forming medicine to you or you could try over the counter sleep aides

Thanks for the fast response.
It sometime makes me feel like not waking up and die sleeping
