If you can move at all then it's a dream. REM atonia is either on or off, there's no moving slowly involved. That said, you can still move your eyes, fingers and toes to break the paralysis. |

Not so often but about 1 time per week I wake up in some kind of paralysis, but I can move. |

Always, no sometimes think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree
-John Lennon
Either this, or you're hallucinating that you can move. I have chronic SP episodes, and many times I've tried to move in order to fully wake myself up, only to realize I was moving a phantom limb rather than a real one. Like you've described, it would take me a LOT of effort to "move" my arm (or leg, or whatever), but later on I would realize it wasn't my *real* arm that had moved. |
