Hi,

I'm not sure this is similar, but I had what I think is a sort of similar thing where I was up in the corner of my room and I was so aware of the spider webs there, and I couldn't make it, I was trying to get further up... it was a dream state... but at the time I wasn't able to breathe because of sleep apnea, and when I chose not to go to my mother who was motioning me to come to her (she's dead) I woke up coughing and trying to get air.

That really scared me and that was when I was still seeing the homeless doctor after my home was foreclosed.

He said sleep apnea was common in people who were heavy like me and that I should try to elevate my head when I slept, and lose weight if I could.

I've lost weight and I'm not waking up coughing to get air nearly as much now, but I'm still sleeping on a thick, hard pillow to raise my head.
