What you're referring to is when you undergo surgery, the doctor
thinks you're under anestesia, in reality you're fully awake,
you feel every thing, but you're unable to move any muscle or
say anything.

Thanks for answering one of my questions. I thought there was a name for
that disorder though ? Like they are given the same amount of anestesia as
others , but for them it isnt enough. I heard after surgery, some of those
people killed themselves because the pain was so unbelievably unbearable /
so traumatic. sad, sad, stuff.

William, thats what I have. Thanks so much. Thats exactly what it feels
like too.. like some kind of force is holding you down barely able to
breathe.

what freaked me out about Yesterday's episode is that I knew nobody was home
except me, yet there was all these sounds around my bed and I couldnt do
nothing but sit there.. (that part was part of my dream state im sure) like
I said im used to it so I just relaxed my mind until I waked up. I'll check
yahoo to see if theres a support group for this. I'd definately like to
share some scary stuff i've experienced .

For anyone thats wondering what this experience is like. Its like adding a
realistic element to some of your scariest dreams. Since your half awake /
half dreaming.

The "neat" part of this is that some people can control it, and even fly
around the room and out the window with out of body experiences.
Hope you get there! ;-)

I used to get this when I took Remeron. Or something like this. And
it would completely freak me out. It felt like I was maybe dieing and
I couldn't do anything about it. I would think that this was what
death was, where I would be trapped in my body and I couldn't move no
matter how hard I tried. I would be screaming out "WAKE UP!" and it
would take me up to an hour to wake up. I thought that I would be
stuck like that for eternity. Really scary. Watch our for
that.......
