I haven't had it in years, but I do remember one from my childhood. I was in bed, convinced I was awake, and looking out of my bedroom door. There was a man standing there in a trenchcoat and fedora (not that I knew the names for those pieces of clothing at the time). I couldn't see his face, which was all in shadows, but I was terrified. I remember trying to scream and being unable to . . . and then I could. I was still in the same position (up on my elbow), but definitely awake, as the man had vanished. I just remember being paralysed and being convinced that I was awake.
