    The human mind is a weird thing. That second one sounds like a very convincing hallucination to me, even feeling the hand. It could be you were in between that state of awake and asleep, it definitely sounds like the kind of thing someone who has had sleep paralysis experiences.

      As a result of narcolepsy, I regularly dream while half awake (think while you’re falling asleep or waking up). It can sometimes be hard to remember whether something happened in a dream or in real life when in that state.
