In response to:

Hi Ann, It's just possible that you have experienced a form of sleep paralysis. The vivid sensory activity you describe when trying to fall asleep is one clue, and the second is your attempt to call out and feeling that you can't move. However, I do agree with the previous answer that because of the infrequent nature of your experience that it is worth being checked over. If, by any chance, you have experienced a small stroke I suspect you might be showing other symptoms during the day - but this isn't always the case.
