I hate this :/

I sometimes wake up and I think I'm gonna suffocate because I'm lying with my face into my pillow. Only thing I can move right then is my mouth :\ And I just cant gather the force to move my arms or something

Had it once:
I dreamed my grandpa had died and I was crying and crying, and then I fond out that since I cried so much, my nose got blocked up so I could'nt breath. I woke up from my dream suddenly due to the lack of air, I fond out that my nose really IS blocked up, and there are some real tears in my eyes. I tried to breath through my nose but I can't(It's blocked, obviously), and I can't move at all. it felt horrible, suffcating. Then in an instant, with out even thinking about it, I snapped open my mouth and gulped at the air. Felt pretty strange after that, not because I actually cried in real life because of a dream, also the dream nearly suffocated me by blocking my nose and my ignorant, or rather, paralyzed jaws.

I'm surprised how common this is, since when I saw some documentary on it on TLC I was assuming that it's some kind of rare thing because it's never happened to me.

SP makes me angery every time since it disturbs my sleep and scares me shitless. I don't only lose control of every goddamn bodily function (including breathing) but also my thoughts...kinda hard to explain. Like it would be hard to focus on any given thing. My mind would wonder and drift, and random thoughts would seemly be forced in place of my own thoughts...like someone else was pushing buttons in my mind that trigger random thoughts...weirdest thing ever. It's also hard to gain control of my thoughts as something is talking/screaming/crying in the background with a very loud wind blowing sound. But the hallucinations are the worst tho of when you can actually see shit. Since everyone has similar experiences i wonder if this is super natural in anyway?

Well, I got it once. Scared the shit out of me as I was sure that something was sitting at the top of the wardrobe in the shadows but I couldn't turn my head to look at it... *boggle*

Everyone is paralysed during REM sleep, except for eye movement. This is a normal and very essential part of your sleep cycle. It has nothing to do with demons on your chest

In your case, I guess you happened to regain (some) consciousness during REM sleep, but your body hadn't de-paralysed you yet

only problem with this is that if you were totally paralysed for that amount of time (and I know REM sleep is short, but not that short - I do forget how long though, maybe half an hour) then you'd probably be dead :D

oh and once I woke up and I couldn't move my arm
and there was someone touching my face
it took a good few minutes before I realized it was my hand -.-

hpw about going to sleep on your arm only to wake up because you roll over and that arm slaps you in the face, because of it falling asleep from lack of blood floww it feels like some one else has thrown there arm across you but its just yours ,asleep it can be very scary for a bit there .

Happened to me. At first scary, but later funny stuff. Once I actually managed to sleep on both of my arms. I woke up, without feeling my arms. I recognized the potential of the the situation soon, I quickly got to stand up and started to spin for a second, than stopped ... it was funny, how my arms continued to move in the spinning direction till they hit the body. I spinned several times - left-right-left-... till the blood came back. Those arms were just a pair of ropes hanging from my shoulders.
