Sleep Paralysis? Anyone?

Hi Boss, I had several experiences of having a sleep paralysis when i have bad dreams. I am conscious and even feel that i am awake, i know what's going on around, i can hear voices, even the movements of my room's curtain, everything--but i can't move any part od my body. I even tried to shout so that somebody will come to help me out and move my body but no response at all. Once i finally made a murmur/mumble sound, my husband woke me up. He said that i am mumbling. I told him that i was screaming to the top of my voice to ask for help because i am being chased by a mad dog. But he only hear a murmur from me. I was so tired then and sweating badly and my heart was beating so fast. He gave me water to drink. I read an article related to this and the advise was to just try to relax. Never stress yourself out to move or shout it will complicate things. Just calm yourself down and you will be mobile again. I tried this and it worked for me. Aside from keeping my mind and body relax-- i PRAY.

I have had this happen to me! I had never heard of it happen to anyone else. I noticed that it happens more when I'm under a great deal of stress. I agree it's terrifying when you can't even open your eyes even though your mind is telling you too. Those are the nights that I can't go back to sleep well.
