Wow, Dr. Purple, that's interesting. I have never heard of that. Wonder if it's in my DSM?

You have a condition called "sleep paralysis", a very common phenomenon that is frequently associated with horrible nightmares. Fortunately, it isn't serious and does not require treatment. It usually lasts a few seconds and you wake up temporarily paralyzed. Sometimes, people get it when they don't get enough sleep. Many people get this, and some of my patients get it all the time. It's nothing to worry about and it's not the Grim Reaper coming to get you...hope this helps, write back if you have anymore questions

Narcolepsy. Visit a doctor and get a prescription for some medicine to control it. It is a condition related to the neuron firing sequence that gets out of order.

YOU HAVE ANSWERED YOU QUESTION YOURSELF WITH THE CORRECT ANSWER! I TOO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AND KNOW SEVERAL OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN TO THEM. IF YOU BELIEVE IN EVIL, THEN SURELY YOU MUST BELIEVE IN GOOD, LOVE, GOD.... MY SUGGESTION AS A SOLUTION IS WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO YOU.... YOU ARE AWARE...YOUR MIND IS AWAKE... "CALL OUT FOR GOD TO HELP YOU!" AND IT WILL LEAVE.
AS FOR SOMEONE'S ANSWER BELOW THAT THIS IS NARCOLEPSY. NO, IT ISN'T. THAT IS A CONDITION OF WHEN A PERSON JUST FALLS ASLEEP AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT ANYTIME ANYWHERE.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU IS OF THE SPIRITUAL .
IF YOU WOULD LIKE, YOU MAY EMAIL ME MORE ON THIS.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER MY QUESTION/OR COMMENT HERE, BUT I HAVE A "FEELING VERY STRONGLY THAT YOU WERE ABUSED SEXUALLY IN CHILDHOOD." AM I BEING CORRECT IN MY FEELING?.... YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER BACK. MOST ALL OF THE PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HAVE SUFFERED THROUGH SOME KIND OF SEXUAL ABUSE AS A CHILD. IN SOME CASES, IF THE ABUSER HAS DIED/ OR PASSED ON ALREADY, I BELIEVE IT IS THE SOUL OR SPIRIT OF THAT SAME PERSON WHO IS STILL ABUSING YOU SPIRITUALLY. YOU MUST FIND A WAY TO RELEASE AND FORGIVE THIS PERSON (IF THIS BE THE CASE) AND COMMAND THEM IN THE NAME OF GOD OR/ WHOMEVER YOU CALL OUR CREATOR TO LEAVE YOU ALONE AND GO TO THE LIGHT!

There is a sleep disorder Narcolepsy where people are prone to fall asleep suddenly. See your doctor, have sleep study done, see a psychologist or psychiatrist.

I didn't know it was an actual disorder. I just thought it was one of those freak things that happen. I have had that happen several times thoughout my life and it is the most horrible feeling.
I like the name you give to it. I will remember that. It is truly how your feel that the dead is over you.

I believe it's called night paralysis. You awaken with a feeling of fear & doom during the stage of REM sleep, when your body has not yet awakened but your mind has fully awakened. It probably occurs more often than one would think. I know it's happened to me on more than one occasion, when my mind is awake but yet I can't move my limbs. It's very frightening. There is a medical name for it but I do not recall the medical name--sorry.
