Hi Emyly, welcome

You may be experiencing some type of weird dream. When this happens, do you feel aware, like you have control (unlike in normal dreams)? If not, you may just be having some kind of dream. When this happened what did you do?

When we sleep at night, most people's bodies "experience" (I can't think of the right word) Sleep or REM Atonia. This is basically your body paralyzing itself during REM sleep so that your body does not act out what you are dreaming or accidentally move around. What could be happening is that you are consciously experiencing this. Users that try to WILD, a "method" for lucid dreaming, occasionally experience this, and sometimes experience hallucinations such as the ones you are describing. It's certainly not something that has to happen every time; it's just something like a side-effect. Sleep Paralysis is a disorder where this happens. All these terms get mixed up a lot and I'm not even 100% sure of what I am talking about

I suggest that you browse the forums and read up on lucid dreaming if you don't already know about it, and also use the search function in the top right to search for similar things for what you are experiencing.

Welcome to DV Emyly, I hope to see you around and goodluck!

Thank you guys! The thing is that it started happening some months ago, but it only happens in the morning after my husbands leaves to work. It is like I am conscious about what happens around me but I can not do anything as I can not move. I don't know if you guys are all about science but I am the type of person that some times has premonitory dreams but this other types of dreams that I am telling you about started to freak me out. After I experienced one yesterday morning, today, after my husband left to work I was afraid to go back to sleep. ) I have a more frustrating period and maybe all of this is caused by the stress I am gathering inside. I will look more on the forum as you advised me!
