Hey guys, I to have. I was tired of the constant episodes of these attacks. I did my own research and found out it was called hypnagogia. Learning how to deal with it and take control I found for me it was triggered by my stress. I wasn't diagnosed this was a self diagnosis all the symptoms fit. Since I have been doing my own research and managing my stress I have been hypnagogia free for almost a year . I just wanted to share my experience with what seems to be related to all of yours.

Kateriley88, good luck with your results I hope they come out ok. Your sleep docs should know about hypnagogia. I would suggest it maybe with your doctor next visit and see what he thinks. I'm not saying that's what it is, I am no sleep expert but you have all of the symptoms I remember. I remember lot's of spiders lol.
