I was sleeping in my dream. Almost as if I was watching myself. I got up to make a bottle in said dream and I was approached by a very dark, angry, evil man figure. He choked me and I couldn’t scream for help. It was just like my voice wouldn’t work. He released and I ran to my room and told my boyfriend then it happened again. Then we tried to leave the house and it happened again and he choked me over the couch. The last thing I saw in the dream was my eyes roll back as i gasped and gulped. I woke up in bed gasping and gulping and my front of my neck and throat genuinely hurt. I’m also paranoid now and feel like it’s lurking in all the dark places. Timed the dream to happen within 3:30am to 4:56am. 

It sounds like you were astral projecting and may have encountered a restless spirit
