Sometimes im sleeping.. as im sleeping i cant wake up it seems as if my brain and my body are functuning in two opposite ways.. My eyes are closed but i can see my room sometimes i can even look at my body laying there on my bed.. Other times if im sleeping on my side with an arm under my pillow i can see my hand.. I started getting these dreams at the age of 13 [now im 20] at first it was scary not being able to wake up but now i can control them and wake myself up as soon as i get this numb feeling all over my body... Its been up to the point where i pinch myself somehow or kick the wall to wake up..
This usually happens in the morning but it has happened to me at night..I get this thing like 2-3 times a month, i dont know when ill get these strange dreams i dont think they are dreams because everything i see is in detail at times i can even hear the TV .. whats wrong with me?

For the second time:
There is nothing wrong with you and surprisingly, this is fairly common. It primarily has to do with sleep patterns of the brain. In sleep you have decreased levels of conciousness and decreased levels of motor control. Usually these are suppressed simultaneously... but not always. There can be a "state" where you're almost asleep. Your level of conciousness is severely suppressed but you have some concious thought process and awareness of your surroundings. But your MOTOR function is still completely supressed. These states are usually while falling asleep or waking up. It can induce almost a state of panic as you try multiple things to "wake yourself up." It's not dangerous and as far as I know, there is no treatment other that adequate and proper sleep patterns.

Sounds like you are having OBEs (Out Of Body Experiences).
You might want to read "Adventures Beyond the Body" William Buhlman, "Soul Traveler" Albert Taylor, or or others.

sounds like you are going to a different level of consciousness, maybe you can ask someone with some experience in this
