    OMG yes it is so freaky! When it happens to me I have a hard time breathing and hear a real loud buzzing in my ears.I also feel like if I dont fight it im going to slip away.
    I used to have hallucinations when it would happen to I always saw this crazy woman.
    it hasnt happened to me in a long time though

    yep, it usually proceeds an OBE type experience where I get stuck in my ethereal form in an awkward situation involving the disembodied spirit of jane austin and 3 kosher pickles.

    Have yourself checked for sleep apnea. It can trigger or be the cause. Plus, not allowing you to go into deeper REM sleep.

    Yes, I have in the past and it can be one of the scariest experiences!
    I have done a little research about it and haven't had an "episode" in awhile. I try to get more (and better) sleep and I also do not sleep on my back.

    What Napoleon said (great pic). It may be related to sleep apnea, which can be reversed with weight loss. I've had it happen a few times too.
