This is almost exactly how it happens for me, I've never really seen "the demon", but I know it's there and I can feel its presence at a super intense level. Sometimes, I hear them walk into my room and stand over me. Other times, they're just there, staying perfectly out of sight.

The worst part of it for me is when I try to speak or scream and nothing comes out. That's more scary to me than "the demon"

It's interesting that other people call it "the demon" too. That's how I've always thought of it. The demon comes in various forms for me. Once it was distinctly female with a feminine voice. Another time it was a gargantuan shadow beast slowly walking toward me to kill me. Very rarely it won't involve a demon though and I'll think a human is breaking in, or I won't perceive anything in particular.
