heh you should search the forums before posting this because practically everyone has had this, its called sleep paralysis, when you go to sleep each night your body releases chemicals that paralyse you so that you dont get up and act out what your doing in your dreams, this usually kicks in once your asleep but if your trying to lucid dream or your particularily concious while your body is falling asleep it may kick in while your away, its a good way of getting into a WILD. it also happens if you wake up before your body does.
