> I woke up but I could not move my body or speak. It was SOOOOOOO weird. Ever have a dream where you are trying to scream but you can't? Well, that happened to me only I was awake.

> I could see my husband but I could not make a sound to get his attention. I could not move but I could feel my eyeballs whirling all around. I finally could just GRUNT loud and then within about 30 seconds, this stopped and I could move and speak.
>
> I've never, ever, ever had anything like that happen and it completely freaked me out. It was as if my body could not take orders from my brain. I literally could not speak or make a sound no matter how much I tried. I could not even move my body.

> Other than Klonopin, I take Restoril 30 mg's for sleep and I have the flu right now.
>
> It was sooooooo weird and scarey. Any thoughts?Sounds like sleep paralysis.
