Something similar to that happened to me when I was younger. Went to sleep, woke up and couldn't move for a few days. I think the docter said that it was caused by a twitching bone in my neck or something. Haven't had any problems since though.

I get the typical feeling where I go to lay down....(think I fall alseep) and then next thing I know, I am alert, but I cannot move my body, not even a finger...I cant make a noise....and I hear this loud noise almost too...I kid you not, the last time I thought I was dying, I started praying to God....then I snapped out of it....anybody else ever experience this before to this extent? I dont even wnat to go to bed, but I need the rest to recover form surgery and I have a dr. appointment tomorrow

sure you do.

It's normal and common. Happens more during naps.

You could be in a deep meditation state, it sometimes happens spontaneously.

Dont do nothing just enjoy the moment.

Your body is not important at this point.

That's much, much different to what we're talking about...

Sleep paralysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What would even be scarier is if you did not have sleep paralysis...

You would essentially get up out of bed and act out your dreams...just think of all the trouble you could get into (read as: accidentally injure yourself)

I've had that happen 3 or four times. It's scary as shit.

Usually I break out of it in a minute, but that minute is terrifying.

I hear that if you get poisoned from fugu or fungu (that Japanese poison fish) you can end up like that for a looooooong time.

I don't think there's anything scarier than being awake but unable to move or speak.

It happens to me once every 2 months or so on average, i hate it, getting out of it sort of feels like escaping from a swamp.

Edit: O yea, is it just me? but if you go back to sleep literally str8 after it happens you fall right back into it? I usually have to be awake for about half a minute before i can rest again.

i dont recall this ever happening to me.
