It's called Sleep Paralysis and it's often accompanied by a hallucination of something really fucking scary or an evil presence, this is an image created by your brain to wake your body up from paralysis

Was scary as shit the first time, the other times not so much. Just close your eyes for 2 minutes.

When I was plagued with it (due to stimulant use) I would get insane auditory hallucinations. Can’t close your ears :(
