i get a bout of this every few months.
when it first happened to me when i was a teenager it freaked me out.
now i know im asleep, but my mind is awake at the same time. the feeling i get is that even if im trying to get up something is trying to hold me down, pushing my head and chest down.
this experience that i have from time to time sort of fits in with the arabic version of what sleep paralysis is, which is called a "kaboos" or "Ja-thoom", where this episode is connected to a succubus ( which is what i am assuming where the words kaboos comes from) that sits on a persons chest. folklore or not, its interesting to know.
