One time I was sleeping but, I could see my body from the top of my room its really hard to explain. Then I got scared and went back to my body and was paralyzed for a moment I tried to scream for help but my hand like locked up and I could not move a muscle then everything was normal it was very strange indeed.

What you describe is called sleep paralysis, I've experienced it too and it's fairly common. It happens when your consciousness awakens but the reticular formation, a structure at the base of your brain that regulates wake-sleep cycles and inhibits muscle activity while you're asleep so that you don't act your dreams, stays active therefore keeping your body paralysed (except for your eyes, which you should be able to move in this state). Sleep paralysis is often accompanied with auditory hallucinations that can be scary, but when it happens just try to stay calm and remember that it is temporary. I've had SP when I'm under a lot of stress and when I haven't got enough sleep for about two or three consecutive days earlier.

btw, I love jar of flies.
