Its called sleep paralysis.. mainly happens when your stressed!! i get this when im stressed its horrid!!
Physiologically, it is closely related to the paralysis that occurs as a natural part of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is known as REM atonia. Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain awakes from a REM state, but the bodily paralysis persists. This leaves the person fully aware, but unable to move. In addition, the state may be accompanied by hypnagogic hallucinations.
More often than not, sleep paralysis is believed by the person affected by it to be no more than a dream. This explains many dream recountings which describe the person lying frozen and unable to move. The hallucinatory element to sleep paralysis makes it even more likely that someone will interpret the experience as a dream, since completely fanciful, or dream-like, objects may appear in the room alongside one's normal vision.

It's called sleep paralysis. I used to get it occasionally as a teenager. Your body is essentially asleep but your mind is still partially awake.
I rather enjoy that feeling. It's relaxing in a way.
A psychologist would probably have something to say about that.
