This has happened to me several times and it seems quite strange.
I read somewhere that there is something in your body that shuts down your motor skills when you fall asleep, and I was wondering if there is a way that you can wake up before this "thing" allows your body to move again.
I also have had several horrible dreams where I was partially paralyzed and had extreme difficulty moving freely, and actually felt stress/pain etc. I'm assuming that these feelings were imagined, because my body felt fine after I woke up.
In one of these nightmares I was tied to the back seat of a city bus, driving down a curvy country road in a lightning storm, and the bus driver kept turning around and smiling at me. The bus would stop and let strange monstrosities on that just sat in the front seats and stared and grinned at me as well.
Any information on either instance of paralysis would be greatly appreciated.
