I've experienced this a few times. I found the feeling to be similar to just before waking up or falling asleep, when your body is frozen for a second or less, except extended for a very long time. I figured it was simply the brain transferring muscle control back to the conscious mind.

That's pretty much what I feel when it happens. There's usually a high-pitched tone that's very grating, and incoherent voices, or memories of voices (don't worry I'm not crazy). Then it's like my conscious mind is awake, but my body is asleep. And I get very scared, not because of anything in particular, but just the feeling of being scared, as something terrible could happen.
It usually happens when I'm anxious when going to bed.
