      They have suggested an alternative explanation in reference to these "night attacks" my assumption would be, either I have misunderstood the actual event taking place, or they have. It all comes down to whether your asleep or awake when it happens.

   i can't remember the specific name for this condition, but i do know that when we are in deep sleep our bodies are naturally paralysed for security basically.  When you are disturbed by a dream you can become aware of this paralysis but its nothing to worry about as it is a natural process of sleep.

   It sounds like it not a dream that you are having, but a condition called sleep paralis! If this happens too often you might want to concider seeing a doctor and have a sleep study done. I know that it is a frightening thing to wake up and not be able to move, but really you need to talk to your doctor!

    This sounds like sleep paralysis.  I experienced something similar two nights in a row a little over a year ago.  In my case, after falling asleep with my girlfriend at the time, I awoke but was not certain if I was awake because I could see the room, my girlfriend and all with clarity but I could not move or speak.  The first night it happened, I believe I succumbed to it and fell back asleep.  When it happened again the next night, I struggled with it.  Firstly I tried to bump my girlfriend with my head to wake her up.  That failing, I continued to fight it like it was a spirit trying to possess me and I mentally willed it to leave me, eventually freeing one arm and then the rest of my body.  After regaining control of my body and beeing fully awake, I got up and walked around for a minute.  Then I laid back down and this time I conciously kept my hand open and palm to the floor as I put my arm back over my girl.  Before, when in the state of paralysis my arm was over her and my hand was closed.  I think that created a closed circle/inward spiral that facilitated the sleep paralysis.  It was by opening that hand that I had initiated movement of my arm and subsequently broke the paralysis.  While I don't know for sure if these two experiences had anything to do with spirits, I do know that the apartment below us had been vacant for some time since the prior tenent had died in the apt.  It makes me wonder.  Spirits or no, it is a creepy and helpless feeling all the same.

    It's called sleep paralysis. I've had sleep paralysis before; a few times. It's like your spirit is awake but your body is still sleep, and you struggle to move or open your eyes. Once, when I was younger, it was in the form of a dream. In the dream, I was under a bus and I couldn't break free. It scared me then. However, I don't think you should worry about it. I've noticed it came when I either had extreme tiredness or was going through emotional stuff in my life. Are you getting enough rest or is there something going on in your life that you feel you have no control over?
    
    Once, I just laid there and just went back to sleep (I figured that I just wasn't ready to get up yet). But I will say that if you want to get up, just thinking about the name of Jesus and His power will free you from the sleep paralysis at that very moment. Through the name of Jesus, you have control of your body and the authority.

    Sleep Paralysis is a natural process of the body going into a sleep mode. Normally we do not experience sleep paralysis(that we remember) because we fall right to sleep.  This can be a terrifying experience to many people until they realize that it is a sleep process.  People who experience OBE's (Out-of-Body) Experiences, usually use the awareness of sleep paralysis to have OBE's.

    Some believe it is a state between sleep and consciousness, others feel it is a more supernatural experience. Personal experience on the subject, I tend to lean towards supernatural. It first happened when I was only around sixteen, a friend if mine and her step sister had made a homemade ouija board. After having played with it until it began to say terrible things to us, we went to bed. As I laid there, not really tired, I felt a tingling start at my feet and go all the way up to my neck. Then I was paralyzed, I couldn't move, my eyes open, I could see my friend laying next to me, I believe she was even talking at the time. I tried wit all my strength to hit her and get her attention, but I could not. Then I began saying The Lord's Prayer in my head over and over until I felt my body jerk and I hit her leg. The creepiest part was it looked like some cloudy dark mist or smoke was hovering above me, moving. I realize it may have been happening more often, oddly when my furniture in the room faced so that when I slept, my feet were towards a door.
    
    Throughout all of high school it continued to get more frequent, then when I moved out, it lessened and lessened. Depending on where I was, usually influenced if I would suffer an attack, or at least that's what I called them. My state of consciousness was to strong to call it some kind of astro projection in the works. 
    
    I am not sure if your a religious person, or how it effects you spiritually, i just know when it happened to me, it is able to keep me from breathing, I used to almost always end up gasping for air. This could be from fear, I am not sure, I just know if you have anyway to keep your mind occupied while your laying down waiting to fall asleep, it seems to help distract your efforts, and tire the brain.
    
    After I'd moved into a house where the previous renter had been killed there, by her boyfriend, I expected this type of occurrence to happen much more, my mother, who'd live there even before I was in there, had experienced some unsettling mishaps. Enough to lead her to a shaman, she drew him a diagram of the house, and he drew her a portal in where he explained to her, a portal existed. It was my own discovery that this was in front of my bedroom window. I took images of these giant orbs resting above our bed, but after my son was bit in the face by a scorpion there I had found a peace with those who have past on. Realizing our focus should be placed in things that were living, like scorpions.

    Very simple. During sleep your body is at rest and recharging itself. While your mind may be still active. You may want to do some 'action' in your dreams, but your 'second nature' gives you the feeling of immobility. Simply to prevent you from falling off the bed or hitting your partner or things like that.
    In other words, just like we do the breathing without being conscious about it, our inner system prevents us from doing unwanted things when in sleep.

    Whatever it is called I don't think you have to worry about it because I experience it almost every week. I am a teacher and sometimes after my lunch I take a small nap in my staff room on my chair itself. After sometime I feel that my students have come to meet me. I can hear voices in the corridor and I say to my self 'come on wake up, students (sometimes peon) are here' but I just wont wake up. I find my self struggling to get up, pushing the table and all sorts of things but just wont. And finally after the struggle when I wake up I am actually in the same position I had slept and the best thing nobody is come to meet me.
    I was worried about it initially because I actually felt my students had come and when I phoned them they said no. Gradually I realized it happens just because I have it in my mind that I shouldn't be found sleeping when someone visits me. Now I am cool about it.

    I'm guessing here but the Soul does travel. Not for long, usually, but it does, and I guess that the body has to await its return. You are actually a Soul, and the body is simply the vehicle or instrument of the Soul.
    
    One other thing, although I would not advice you to dwell on this, is that there are also 'wrong forces' that can come. Practice calling on God regularly in the waking state and you will learn to remember this if you need to in the dream state.

When I woke after the last one I realized I was on my side and had crossed my arms in such a away that I was partially laying on my hand, or it was tucked under my body and so I was, in a way actually immobilized. I think past dreams like that may have had to do with my feet getting tangled in the blanket too.

    I am not sure if you mean that you are no longer dreaming and can't move to wake up (Sleep paralysis) or if you simply cannot move in your dream.  If you are actually dreaming, then it could mean that you have a sense of losing control of events in your life.  Other dreams that demonstrate a sense of impotence or lack of control include dreams where one is losing one's teeth.
    
    On occasion I will have dreams where I need to be moving quickly, but my legs are like lead; I struggle to take even one step.  I find myself furious with myself and terribly frustrated.  These tend to be my worst nightmares, as I usually am trying to get away from something terrible.

    Sounds like you had sleep paralysis! Scary stuff, but completely harmless. Sleep paralysis happens when your mind wakes up but your body doesn't. During sleep, our brain paralyzes our bodies so that we don't walk around and kill ourselves. When you wake up and are paralyzed, that just means your mind woke up but your body is still in sleep mode.

    As other people have already stated, it sounds a lot like sleep paralysis. When you fall asleep, you brain shuts down the movement of your muscles to prevent you from acting out your dreams. If you've ever paid attention to the process that occurs when you fall asleep, you'll notice you gradually relax more, then you don't want to move as much. You start to see and hear things that aren't there as you move into a full sleep state. If you're jolted back to attention in this state you may notice that your legs kick out suddenly.
    
    Waking up occurs in the opposite sequence. Usually the paralysis and unconsciousness occur together so you don't notice the paralysis, but when you wake up, you can somethings become conscious before the paralysis ends. At this point you're in a state where you're still partially asleep, even though your eyes are open, so you can have strange feelings of fear or dread and even hallucinate because your dreams seem like reality.
    
    Nothing that happens during this paralysis can hurt you though. It's all just a vivid waking form of dreaming. If it happens again, just stay as calm as possible and it will pass. I've personally had sleep paralysis once, and it really was terrifying, but because I'd read about it before, I worked out what it was and was able to calm myself down. If I didn't know anything about it, I don't know how I would have reacted.

    I keep having this nightmare and it's just about to the point where I don't want to sleep anymore.
    
    In my dreams...
    
    I see little "ghostly" children walking around. Some of them I know (in my dreams only), some are new to me every night. Some of the children I know by name and try to call out to them, but I am physically unable, and can't talk at all.
    
    Last night did it for me. I dreamt that there were pictures of all the children hanging in my garage!! Then I looked to my neighbor and spoke with her. But what's super weird was that she isn't my real neighbor. It was just an older lady playing in her yard with a child. I asked her if she knew the kids in the pictures. She told me to hit the pictures and tell them to go away. So I gave it a try.
    
    When I looked at the pictures again, they were all turned around. But there was one of a little girl and written on the picture it said "ask about her".
    
    When I turned back to the neighbor to ask about the girl, she was gone.
    
    So I began hitting the pictures, but the words would not come out of my mouth. Almost like I lost my voice. 
    
    I tried to say it louder and louder, but there was nothing coming out. I finally woke up yelling "GO AWAY", scaring my husband. I told him about my dream and he said that I talk in my sleep all the time, but that he can never make out what I'm trying to say.
    
    After he left for work at 530am I went back to sleep.
    
    I thought I was still awake but I must have went back to sleep.
    
    I thought I heard him come back into the house, I heard the door open, and even heard him turn the alarm off.
    
    When I looked up he never came into the room. Then I saw one of the kids from my dreams walking around the house. This was a kid I knew by name and I tried calling out to him, but couldn't say anything. Then I heard my husbands electric toothbrush turn on, but there was no one there.
    
    When the sounds all went away I realized I was asleep and woke up, checked the time and it was only 5:50am.
    
    I have dreams about things like this all the time, but it never stays in my mind long enough to remember. Which is why I am writing this right away while it is still fresh.
    
    Does anyone else have dreams like this, or am I just crazy? Can anyone shed some light on the subject of these continuous reoccurring nightmares?
    Are these related to sleep paralysis?

    There is only one way that never stop a step that you are climbing but should know that why you are climbing or riding just work hard. I think that will make you success.

    Glad I found this site.
    
    Last night I dreamed approx. 10 times that I was in my Mom's house where I slept when I was going to school 30 yrs ago. I kept dreaming that I was stuck in the bed, not being able to move and calling out for help. I would wake up and go back into the same dream. I begin asking myself was the devil or an evil spirit in my body. I was becoming terrified and during the last few dreams started praying and asking God for help. I said 12 "Hail Marys" and the Lord's Prayer over and over. I even looked at the alarm clock to see what time it was (4:00 am) Again, I dreamed approx. 10 times back to back. I was screaming out for help at the end of the dream and that's what kept waking me up. I don't think it was an evil spirit now because God would have ridden my body of it and allowed me to move. It wasn't until after I finally was able to break loose from the bed to stop the dreams. I didn't realize that I was not in my Mom's house until a few hrs later after my alarm clock went off. What does this all mean?????

    Dreams basicaly tell you what is happening to your life, or in your subconscious mind. Being unable to move may symbolize inner wars(self-sabotage), sabotage from situations around you or a sense of being unable to cope with your present conditions.
    If such kind of dreams are persistent, it shows that the issue is real rather than vague. A little self examination may reveal the source of the paralysis.

       Having sleep paralysis while falling asleep means your mind stays awake and your body falls asleep faster than you. I wrote a hub about this with more info, but basically one way to get rid of this is to make sure you have a good sleep schedule.

    As many others have said, this is sleep paralysis. I've had it once, and it was no fun.
    
    I have read that if it happens again to keep your eyes closed to avoid hallucinations, and try wiggling your fingers and toes. Once you're able to wiggle them, your body will continue waking up on its own. Very scary, but it's not something that can hurt you.

    I would think the most simplistic answer is probably true;
    
    1st - your subconscious fees stuck. Now determining what in your life your subconscious might be feeling stuck by, that is another question entirely.
    
    2nd - you scream but no one hears you - I would interpret that as you don't feel as though you're problems are being heard, or validated.

    I just had this dream about 15 minutes ago. I was laying face down on my stomach. & I literally felt like someone was smothering my face into the pillow & I felt a very heavy body on top of me & all of my body felt paralyzed I couldn't move at all. & when I tried to scream out I couldn't. I couldn't move my toes or my fingers absolutely nothing. & the weird thing is that I woke up with my heart racing & short of breath like I couldn't breathe. It's probably the scariest & realist dream I've ever had in my life.
