Sleep paralysis?
? can be a ? to deal with.
Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which people, either when falling asleep or wakening, temporarily experience an inability to move. More formally, it is a transition state between wakefulness and rest characterized by complete muscle atonia (muscle weakness). It can occur at sleep onset or upon awakening, and it is often associated with terrifying visions (e.g. an intruder in the room), to which one is unable to react due to paralysis. It is believed a result of disrupted REM sleep, which is normally characterized by complete muscle atonia that prevents individuals from acting out their dreams. Sleep paralysis has been linked to disorders such as narcolepsy, migraines, anxiety disorders, and obstructive sleep apnea; however, it can also occur in isolation. When linked to another disorder, sleep paralysis commonly occurs in association with the neurological sleep disorder narcolepsy.

I had a crazy one a few days ago (then another one just two days later) that went down like this:
So, Im finally drifting off to sleep last night and I hear a loud "BOOM"! My door is kicked in and I jar awake. I hear this calming voice say, "Get up, they are in your house". My eyes open and all I see is black plus I can faintly make out the outline of my bedroom door. Then I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. A voice says again, "Get up, they are coming up the stairs". I go to move and I cant! Im like WTF!!! I keep trying to move as the footsteps draw closer. Now, Im staring at the door way hoping they don't enter my room. Im waiting, waiting...then I realize Im not looking at the door way, Im looking at my window. I try to turn my head to look at the door and I still cant MOVE. A few seconds goes by and I figure it out...Its just a lil bit of this Sleep Paralysis I have to go through.
I think most people have them, but I have them ? way to often.

I've had dreams where im not aware im dreaming and things are happening but I cant react to them, (fighting but cant throw a punch, trying to run but legs won't move ECT.)
But this is not in reality. I always wake up when I realize its a dream. Is this what ur experiencing or is it in real life where u are paralyzed? -
I always thought that had to be a condition. I sometimes have to mentally concentrate just to get my extremities to move out of the bed. It'll freak you out for like five seconds.

Ive dealt with all of the things you have mentioned. Its a mix of both I think. The last one I had can only be explained as my brain being part dream, part awake and part going through the paralysis.
My dreams are weird because they often feel very real. I can feel pain in my dreams and every thing. While most people wake up when they realize they are dreaming, I normally take control of my dream and act it out like a movie.
Its called lucid dreaming.
A lucid dream is any dream in which one, for an uninterrupted and prolonged amount of time, is aware that one is dreaming. The phenomenon had also been referred to by Greek philosopher Aristotle who had observed: "often when one is asleep, there is something in consciousness which declares that what then presents itself is but a dream".[1] One of the earliest references to personal experiences with lucid dreaming was by Marie-Jean-Léon, Marquis d'Hervey de Saint Denys.[2] The person most widely acknowledged as having coined the term is Dutch psychiatrist and writer Frederik (Willem) van Eeden (1860–1932).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] In a lucid dream, the dreamer has greater chances to exert some degree of control over their participation within the dream or be able to manipulate their imaginary experiences in the dream environment.[10][11][12] Lucid dreams can be realistic and vivid.[13] It is shown that there are higher amounts of beta-1 frequency band (13–19 Hz) experienced by lucid dreamers, hence there is an increased amount of activity in the parietal lobes making lucid dreaming a conscious process.[14]
Skeptics of the phenomenon suggest that it is not a state of sleep, but of brief wakefulness.[15][16] Others point out that there is no way to prove the truth of lucid dreaming other than to ask the dreamer.[17] Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, with test subjects performing pre-determined physical responses while experiencing a lucid dream

that's not a short clip. -
Yup. Had this happen quite a few times. For me it's a shadowy figure. Almost like an evil presence. It's feels like I'm wide awake and can see it and try to fight back, but I can't move.

this is where the alien abduction
pphenomenon comes from. -
When I was in my late 20's to early thirties, quite often, it was just straight up paralysis. I was aware of my surroundings and would try to scream out, my only fear was that of not being able to control the event, helplessness. I stopped doing acid, clubbing, and got into a regular sleep habit and it all disappeared, the doctors told me I was sleep deprived and now it seems they were correct.
