"I was sleeping in my bed, and someone was calling to me. I blinked, and turned around (I was facing the wall) but I didn't remember who (or what) I saw. All I could remember was that I was still sooooo sleepy and I could barely open my eyes so I went back to sleep."

THAT happened to me O___O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am HIGHLY paranoid about the supernatural, it sometimes gets ridiculous. There are just moments when I think that there's something near me even though I'm alone, and that creeps the crap out of me. It wasn't that long ago, but I remember waking up one night to the sound of my printer, and there was this black figure in the corner of my room, I remember clearly seing "something" standing next to my printer in the corner. And I KNOW it wasn't a dream, because I was trying REALLY hard to wake up and reach for my lap next to my bed to turn it on. OMG It was ridiculous, I knew there was something in my room, and I wanted to turn my lamp on so freaking badly, but my eyes felt like led and my arms just couldn't move properly!!!!!! I couldn't keep my eyes open, no matter how hard I tried, until I just couldn't do it anymore and felt right back to "sleep". When I actually woke up the next morning there was this piece of paper that printed out from my printer just by itself!!!!!!!! I know I wasn't dreaming, that type of feeling is not something that comes from a dream.
And then that part where you talk about dreaming of being next to a ghost, that really brings back horrible memories >_> ..... You see I suffer from sleep apnea, but there are times where I just don't know if what I'm experiencing is the sleep apnea or if it's something else. There was this one time when i woke up and there was this guys sitting next to me. I could only see his back, and I thought at first that it was my dad or something. But something told me wasn't my dad. And suddenly I felt this pressure on my chest, and it was pretty much like sleep apnea, where you can't move or breath or speak. It feels horrible, it's like someone took away your ability to properly function!!!!!! And you know what, that whole thing that you said about you prayed until you up, I do that too, and that helps me; but damn when shit like this happens it's just horrible. And no matter how many times it happens, it always feels as if it were the first time >_> .....

Ah, I read in a psychology book that the state where we're awake but can neither speak nor move called the Sleep Paralysis. It's usually a part of Narcolepsy, but apparently, it also applies to people with sleep apnea? As for me, I'm narcoleptic so I've been having the sleep paralysis ever since I was so young.
This syndrome is usually accompanied by what they call 'hypnagogic hallucination' which often alarming or scary, and feels so awfuly real. Scientifically, the black figure you saw or the several ghosts I've seen during my previous attacks are no more than an illution. Superstitiously, they are really the ghosts that were disturbing us.
The scientific explanation, however, has a flaw. It is said that these attacks are caused by genetics factor and an unknown external factor.
I made a conclusion myself that whatever this unknown external factor interfering with my brain waves during sleep might be a not-really-scientifical cause XP

i sound so geeky... and weird. haha...

And I totally agree with you that no matter how many times it happened to me, it always feels like the 1st time. so real, so scary... so freaky and made me panic each time... *sigh*

So yeah, I sympathize to you coz I totally understand how it feels... *hugs*
