Your experience could be seen as sleep paralysis.
I used to battle with that a lot in the past. Really scary, thank God your father is there to help.
I noticed mine was because I over stress my body lol. At a point I told myself if you keep stressing this much your soul will give up on you. Immediately I cut down on my activities.
Ahaha
The part you said
“Your soul will give up on you”
I don’t want that to happen which is why I rest properly now
😂🤣😂... More rest time 😌
