Is it normal that i was asleep but awake?

Ok, I use to have dreams like Im actually awake and I'm trying to run away from someone but I can't move... It feels so real and I feel so helpless... I keep screaming but couldn't make a sound....I'm not going to ask if it's normal because I don't think it is but I wonder what it means.

Is It Normal?

  • It is abselutely normal, it is calld Sleep Paralysis. This happens when your mind thinks that you are sleeping, but in real world you are awake. Your head is still dreaming sending a sort of image to your eyes causing you to hallucinate. As i said it 100 % normal and i have done it a few times myself. :)

  • Sleep paralysis most likely. Your mind still thinks your in REM sleep even though you are awake. You cannot move, it feels like doom, maybe a weight pressing down upon you. I've never experienced it, but just read up on it.

  • I can't tell for sure what you mean in your post, but check out, sleep paralysis. See if that relates to what you are going through.

  • I once had a dream that an alien from aliens was by my bed, my eyes were open an I was semi awake, I screamed and jumped out of bed, realised it was irrational and stopped and turned on the light. I felt stupid.

  • Sometimes I have them too where I'll be dreaming but I'm still awake. That's called a lucid dream. x

  • Lucid Dreaming and Sleep Paralysis?

    Look both up and see which one you have.

  • Those dreams are symptoms of a disease known as quitfuckinggeese syndrome. I was diagnosed at age 16.
