<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I'm going to start out by saying I have experienced sleep paralysis before, so I knew what was going on. Regardless I am still shaken. 

My dad had an appointment for a biopsy this morning to see if he has lymphoma (test came back positive). But since his appointment was around 5 am, he insisted I drop him off at the hospital and come home and get some sleep. I do so, but kept waking up. At one point, I had the urge to sit up, I felt like I *needed* to be awake but I couldn't move anything besides my mouth. I fought it and fought it and as I was about to sit up I heard my dad's voice say "downwithmoonlight, not now, its ok, lay down, keep your eyes closed and go back to sleep. Soon it will be ok." I open my eyes though and see a cloaked skeleton creeping towards my bed (think grim reaper). Terrified, I close my eyes and try my best to go back to bed. I know it was just a dream, but considering my dad's diagnosis and his bad habits of smoking and not eating healthy foods, I fear how much longer I'll be able to sit on the couch and watch Game of Thrones with him. 

So reddit, please, tell me your stories of night terrors or sleep paralysis so I don't feel so crazy.
