I believe we've talked about this before... sleep paralysis. It is quite common.
It is sometimes known as "old hag".
I have experienced it a few times and it simply one of the creepiest things I've ever experienced. The feeling that you are awake, you cannot move and that there is a person (usually malevolent) in the room with you. Sometimes they touch you (or hit you with a pillow in Seaver's case).
In the end, it just a sleep disorder. Nothing to worry about.
