      Frozen in a dream? False awakening?

      I've sometimes gotten these dreams where it's like I wake up, but I'm still asleep. My mind is sort of conscious and I can see my room, but I can't move my body and can only control my breathing. In fact, it's like I HAVE to control my breathing. The first few times I had these dreams I panicked, but the last few times I realised it was easy enough to get out of them if I hyperventilated.

      What I can't figure out is if I was ever actually awake during these episodes, or if I was dreaming the whole thing and I was sound asleep the whole time?

      I've had a dream where I'd be waking up, but still asleep. And I would stay like that for a few minutes. I could hear everything that was going on in the real world, but I could still see and interact with my dream. I could also wake myself up and move anytime I wanted to so it was not sleep paralysis, it was just plain weird.

      Sleep paralysis is that, when you are awake, like totaly awake, the dream world is faded and you are back in your bed you know your awake, but like tim said, you cannot move and all it feels like you can do is move your eyes and control breathing, this is because your breathing is an unconsious muscle movement, but you can take control of it, and your eyes never loose connection, but the rest of your body turns off during sleep so your physical body dosent go running around while your off galavanting in the dream world.

      The other thing is weird too, when you are kinda in that half awake half asleep, but its the opposite you are still aware of the dream world your senses start to take signals from both the real world and the dream and it gets confuzzling to say the least. =)
