cg here. this sounds like an 'astral' event, close to a lucid dream or outofbody experience. 'can't move' sounds like 'sleep paralysis'. sleep paralysis is not exactly paralysis; it's that you're out of your physical body, but still in the same location with it; you're in the 'dream world, a subtler frequncy than the physical...

..and the feeling you're awake means maybe you are, but in the astral/dream world and wanting to be in the physical; wanting to move but can't 'contact' yr body. people have always had exprncs w/ 'incubi' (plural of incubus) and 'succubi'(plural of succubus), little male and female demons, respctvly, that visit and attmpt sexabuse.

...try not to freak out, just hold your aware consciousness and send the thoughts you want to accomplish,such as tell them to leave you alone. some people 'astral travel' commonly, that is go 'awake' into the dream world/ >astral level< of the physical world, and 'fly around', visit friends, or anywhere in the univers they want

>>>>On the other hand, if it is a dream it is >your< dream, as are all dreams, so this 'thing' is a part of you. If it's dark and scary, it's what's called the Shadow, in depth psych; the 'dark/unworthy/bad/etc.' part we ALL have within. most of us and societyatlarge >projects< the shadow: we say "I'm good; it's those others..

that are bad". If you stop resisting this little thing, it'll likely transform into something else, or come to represent your own ...unworthy parts. if you accept it, you will be doing your own depth psychological healing; it may reveal what part a you it represnts. if y accpt y have selfishness, envy, tendncy to 'bite', say.....

..as we all do, or are capable, your negative side will lose it's power to make you feel guilty or to act out unworthy stuff or scare you. It's your very own little dream demon, be kind to it, surprise it with an anti-expectable response. You are the Dream Maker; hang into this dream; make it your own, re write the script....
