@Yata Misaki - Sleep paralysis is a real freaky experience, although it supposedly happens more often when you're lying on your back. Anytime I've had it, that's how I've woken up: on my back.
I guess it counts as a creepy encounter, although I'm not really "encountering" anything other than my stupid brain. I've only had trouble breathing with one instance of it; usually for me it happens as I'm dreaming, realize I'm dreaming, "wake up", and spend a minute or two trying to figure out if this is reality, find it isn't, and "wake up" again. It always terrifies me because I start thinking I'll never wake up, and the environment always starts to melt/sag around me when I figure it out. Just when I think I'm really awake, nope! Even though that totally looked like your bedroom, you were just imagining it. All the things you thought were real were a lie. Start all over.
Thankfully it doesn't happen often!
