We have a program on our local radio. The doctor tells us about a real life situation with a real patient. He tells us all the symptoms of the patient and then listeners will call in with their diagnoses. It is very entertaining.
Sounds like a nervous break down or a bad dream (but he is awake), I use to get those a lot when I was a kid. I would be awake and scared out of my tree but could not snap out of it. Just my uneducated guess.

This is a neurological disorder that can be brought on by Parkinson's disease or Huntington's disease. To find out which part of the brain is involved, you might try looking up neurological disorders on the computer.
