Please talk with your parents or guardians - don't take the web to be anything more than some ideas.

I have not experienced it but I understand that the human body goes into a paralysis when the mind goes to sleep. This protects us from the body reacting to something happening in a dream.  I further understand some of us can wake up while still inn the paralyzed state. This should pass quickly to the fully conscious sate and control of our body.

If you are having problems with nightmares the approach I used at an age younger than you are now is I trained myself to wake up.  This was accomplished by always opening my eyes wide whenever there was anything in my mind that was even remotely related to the type of nightmares I was having...such as dark in the basement ... or something like that.  It wasn't long before i was waking myself up as a nightmare was forming. This stopped the nightmare and as the mind is the creator of nightmares my mnd gave up on producting them as I would just wake myself up

This may not fit your problem description, but my story may give you some ideas.

Again, please discuss with mom and/or dad.
