I have had a number of dreams (too many to count) where I'm paralysed and the only thing I can move is my eyeballs. I can't open my eye lids, yet if I don't, I think I will die. In these dreams I am trying to shout, scream or make some type of sound and that's when I wake up.

In this dream I am trying to escape from this thing. It looks human but its not. The only way I can describe what it looks like is Freedy Crouger. This dream happened before I'd heard of the films. To escape from this thing I know I have to turn a light on, but as I go to turn the light on this thing has it's hand on the light switch. I look down at my bed and see myself laying there asleep and I don't know what to do. This thing is grinning at me and I'm terrified and frozen to the spot, thats when I wake up and literally jump out of bed to turn the light on.

The looking down at myself asleep again is a reoccuring dream. It's like an out of body experience as I can clearly see my surroundings. Each time I wake up from these dreams I have to turn all the lights on and I cannot go back to bed let alone sleep.

Shelia,
Are your dreams actual dreams or manifestations of your sleep paralysis? Have you been treated for these symptoms and if so by a medical doctor or a psychologist? Your dreams may not be actual dreams at all but a result of your sleep, paralysis.
If you will provide some background info perhaps I will be able to better understand the dreams.

Also, are there any past experiences of a traumatic nature? Are there any past 'terrifying' experiences?
