It is a symptom of narcolepsy. Everyone is "paralized" during REM — it keeps us from acting out our dreams. Some people wake up, but are still in this state. What you are experiencing is "Sleep paralysis." You can read all about it at: http://www-med.stanford.edu/school/Psychiatry/narcolepsy/symptoms.html Hope this is some help. JenniO

It sounds like sleep paralysis, it can be scary, but it’s usually nothing to worry about. Some people are able to bring themselves out of it by rapidly flicking their eyes back and forth, try it and let us know if it works for you. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/living/DailyNews/sleepparalysis990411….

Hi Danny! Sounds like you should make an appointment with a sleep Dr. I’m no expert but I have a sleep disorder called idiopathic Hypersomnia and on a recent mission to obtain more info on my condition I recall reading something about your problem. If it’s available to you, try about.com and look up sleep disorders. I hope this is helpful to you and good luck! You should still check with either your regular phys. or see a sllep specialist.
