Sleep paralysis anyone?

Not really, but my body goes straight into rem when I sleep (very much like narcolepsy), and when I am woken up I have like this mini panic. I feel frozen, but it doesn't last long enough for it to be anything like real paralysis.

Nope. I never got that. I did get speech paralising sometimes, haven't got it in awhile. I was wanting to say something, but couldn't, barely even to make a sound.

it's called lucid dreaming and unless you have a health condition that makes sleep paralysis happen, then it's not that bad at all. Actually, lucid dreaming is the best time to control your dreams because it will give you a very realistic experience. I used to get scared when I experience sleep paralysis. But when I researched about it, I was able to make it a positive experience for me. It's still freaky when it happens but I calm my mind and remind myself that this is just a dream, then I start fantasizing things then that's when the dream becomes heavenly. LOL

Sleep paralysis is not at all lucid dreaming. It's when your mind awakens but your body is still in it's natural paralyzed state that it enters during REM to keep you from acting out your dreams.
