Paralyzed wile sleep

Sometimes when I have dreams I wake up. When I'm awake my eyes won't open. I can't move. It feels like I'm paralyzed. I try calling my mom to wake me up, but the voice is in my head. It feels like I'm awake in my head justmy body isn't. Sometimes this happens when I'm sleep face down and can't breathe.This happes like once every two months

ive had this since i was 18 im now 28. it occures more often when i get woken up from a deep sleep and go back to bed or taking a nap during the day. the sensation starts from the pitt of my stomach then rises to my brain and just explodes with a loud buzzing sound coming in waves and a tingley tounge. the best way to cope with it is not to fight it let it go all the way through you shouldnt have one that same bed time or nap. it is crazy and freaky though because you think youre doing all these things but youre really not. ive asked plenty of people to watch me but they said i was doing nothing.

Once in a while , most of us do get such kind of dreams, I feel its because of some tension or stress. Even I get such dreams, something is trying to catch me and I am immobilised, cant shout either , as I have lost my voice. It does happen.
