This usually means that your body was asleep and completely paralyzed while you were still conscious.
This is also a popular way of Lucid Dreaming; its called Wake Induced Lucid Dream, or WILD. WILDing is the practice of remaining conscious until and while you're asleep; personally, its my favorite technique since I already have experience w/ SP. I used to experience SP a lot too when I was younger (11) before I began Lucid Dreaming, but now I do it intentionally in order to dream.
Next time you find yourself going through this, try to remember what is happening, remain calm and let it happen. If you do, then you will find yourself in a dream!
