Lendaddy's explanation of the "Choking Ghost".

While sleeping your breathing can actually become so shallow that you go without air for some time. Your mind tries to come up with rationalizations for this sensation. Someone "on top of you" is a logical explanation for the mind, hence it is commonly reported. I remember that I had these satin sheets years ago and I would have these horrible nighmares that I was peeling my face off like a scab (neat I know) anyway, this went on for some time and it really bugged me. Then one night I woke up and found that my head had slipped off the pillow and my stubble was caught in the satin sheets and pulling away was a painfull sensation (similar to removing a scab) anyway I got rid of those and the dreams left. Keep in mind these dreams were very real to me, no doubt due to the actual physical stimulation that caused my mind to come up with a logical scenerio. The mind is a powerful thing.
