Sleep Paralysis: It is believed to be a result of disrupted REM sleep, which is normally characterized by complete muscle atonia that prevents individuals from acting out their dreams.
Being awake in your nightmares! I hate this! My body freezes and I can’t move… Something is in my room and I can’t say or do anything. Eyes piercing at me and I can’t scream for help, I’m awake and trapped! When I finally manage to scream I wake up terrified unsure if what I experienced was in my mind or in fact real.
A couple months ago I went to Mexico and while lying in bed I saw something coming close to me. I couldn't move, my body was frozen in fear and I saw a person coming closer to my face and I was terrified. I tried to scream but the i couldn't make out a sounds... I was finally able to yell and my cousins came running into my room. They said the same thing happens to their brother all the time or anyone that sleeps in his room.
