dtewi, sleep paralysis is natural for everybody. It's what keeps most people from sleepwalking or punching their wife in their sleep. Some times you can wake up during this stage and it can scare the hell out of you if you don't know what it is. Your eyes can open and move around, but your brain is shutting off your body control so you don't hurt yourself. But you'll still dream things that aren't there. One time I saw a roommate say "Whoa, he's sleeping with his eyes open, hello hello can you hear me?" and I couldn't say "yes" or nod or anything no matter how hard I tried. Then I would levitate out of my body and fly away. Later I'd wake up and ask my roommate if he really said all that and it would all be true, except for the levitating out of my body part.
