I used to experience it quite a bit when my kids were infants. They would cry, waking up only my brain. Then the spouse would try to tell me they were crying and I was thinking "I know, but I can't move or talk". The first time it happened, I was really frightened, thinking maybe I had a stroke or something. I think the worst part is being fully aware but unable to speak or open your eyes, so you can't say you're aware of what's going on.
Nowadays it manifests itself in the form of a frequent nightmare; I'm totally aware of what's occuring within the nightmare and realizing it is one but have to wait it out.
