The position one fall asleep in, is the position one loose voluntary movement in all body parts… (?)
Some move around in their sleep?
Some sleep talk… (Thinking out-loud.)
Some walk in their sleep. And some wake up, not able to move, and experience all kinds of things/situations…
The common deriver seems to be “sleep paralysis”.
If you loose it to soon, you can move around, but still be sleeping…
Sleep walking, or maybe even sleep talking.
If you loose it to ‘late’, you cannot move around, but still be awake…
Lying there, or sitting or being in whatever position you fell asleep in. 
So, as one might see it, we paralyze our body, when asleep.
And we move our body, when awake.
Being awake is motion in reality.
Being asleep is as close to no-motion as possible.
The less you move, the deeper you sleep.
And the more you move, the lighter you sleep.
Thus one got rapid eye movements when dreaming, but no movement but the life sustaining necessities, when not dreaming anything at all.
Now, one can live a life without ever doing much dreaming when asleep. As one could cut the sleep hours down to only some cycles of the deepest of all sleeps. (Maybe using drugs as an aid to be capable?)
One can live a balanced version, where there is equal amounts of all stages of sleep.
And one can live a life just dreaming. Not getting much deep sleep, at all, but what is absolutely necessary.
The three stereotypes, in this context in short could be described as the-/ “always busy working-man”, “balanced-man”, and ”dreamer/lunatic”.
“Being paralyzed here, gives freedom to roam there!”

(I was gonna write about something at the end there, but derailed. So much to say… but, in short, I wonder what your view on sleep paralysis is, and how it correlates to how I described one possible (?) view on what this phenomena is.)
I also just came to think of that when I am lucid in a dream, knowing and feeling my body lie asleep; I can get drowsy (in the dreamscape) and know that I will soon “fall asleep”/wake up, then close my eyes, and open them in the familiar landscape of my bed-room… And if I then still feel paralyzed enough, I close my eyes, and imagine the dreamscape again, and feel my body there, and go on dreaming. (I could also wake up and for example see all my plants in the window missing, and stand up and explore this new dreamscape. Etcetera.)
When I wake up all “freed”, I know I slept enough, and go about another day of ‘realizing’ in our reality of earth, and all this…
When I wake up all “bound”, I know my body still is sleeping, and that I can go be awake in dreams or dream that I sleep more, and so on…
I blabber and blabber, so much experience with this!
I really wonder your view on this, as the spiritual and the physical world kind of feels the same to me, as being one and the same. Like most if not ‘all’ planes of existence is in themselves a base, including all other planes of existence.
I post this in my journal “rants”, but might as well post it here to see if anyone of you bright-minded people got some spiritual and/or philosophical input on this…
