It is also a dream or better describe it as " Worst/Bad Dreams " .
When I was young there are rumors that " Bangungot " is one of the reason why some people died during when they are asleep because of " Bangungot ".

The reason why " Bangungot " is considered in Philippine Urban Legend as the Silent Killer at night.
Experts explained that there are scientific explanations about it or in Medical term it is a sign of " Sleeping Disorder.

But what is interesting about this topic, because there are paranormal explanations behind it!

According to the rumors there is an evil spirit responsible for this attack during your sleeping mode.
A big and fat evil creature sitting on your chest the reason why the person experience difficulty in breathing as manifestation of cardiac.
But this paranormal stories remains as an Old Urban Legend and no one can give the exact description of this evil thing.

What are the possible signs if the person experiencing nightmare?

The person is murmuring while sleeping

unwanted actions seems they are afraid

Trying to escape from his/her dream

Difficulty of breathing

What you should do if you are attack by worst nightmare or you see someone having bad dream?

You have to wake up the person

You have to move your fingers in your dream until you can move your body and you can escape from nightmare

You have to pray in your dream

control your dream if you can do it " Its our dream and we can do something about it "

What is happening in your dream your body react the same as what you should feel when you are conscious.
If in your dream you are running, falling from above and etc. Your body definitely feel that you are exhausted, because your brain telling you to feel what you are supposed to react to that actions.

For me as a person who also experienced of having a worst dream. I believed that there are things that is happening that no exact explanation about it. There are creatures waiting in this world waiting for chances to attack us if they were given a chance. Lastly evil and demons are real, but you have to believe that GOD is always here and he will not let these creatures control our world. Prayers is the best weapon to destroy all of these unexplainable scenarios. Like the " Bangungot or Nightmare " these are just part of the million things that existing in this world.

Hi @jezmacher,

Thank you for this amazing blog of yours, definitely, we Filipinos have lots of folkloric stories which are being passed from generation to generation.

thank you!!

That is true and that is the reason why we Filipinos are special.. Our culture and history has big contribution in what we are today.

Eto rin yata yung sanhi ng pagkamatay ni rico yan?

This is the reason not to immediately go to sleep after a big meal when you're feeling full and don't forget to pray before going to bed. I have a few stories to tell about experiences such as this.
