Re: ? about feeling restless and can't breathe
Howdihi,
I suspect you're heading into sleep territory, especially if you're seeing hypnagogics. What seems to be happening is that your body is sending the signal to move as a test for unconsciousness. If you resist the reflex to move your body assumes you're asleep. The next step is to send you into sleep paralysis to prevent movement of limbs as you dream.
You're also detecting the changes in the breathing pattern that occur during sleep.
If you continue to resist the urge to move, you will eventually feel a full paralysis. There may be some twitching here and there first and you may even hear yourself snore. After this, you may see through your eyelids or you may experience vibrations or auditory hallucinations (that can be frightening). You might not experience the latter, however. Instead, you might be able to roll or float or sink or climb out of body. You may even experience a presence in the room (possibly your own astral body perceived from the conscious mind still inside your physical body). You may experience dual awareness as the consciousness in your different bodies is alternately expressed. You might also lose awareness and slip into a dream.
