Hi,
When im asleep , I feel I wake up sometimes and i cant move my body at all, I cant even move my lips and call out. I dont know whether im dreaming or its happening for real. I feel like this for few minutes and end up waking up being very scared. Its happened to me a couple of times specially when im feeling low and depressed. I just want to know what this is , and whether im dreaming or is it happening for real.
