You can feel something touching you maybe even hear noises but you still cant wake up.

Yes, I have experienced sleep paralysis.  It is so terrifying because for some reason, you do feel that someone is in the room with you and that you are in danger but you cannot make a single noise or move a single muscle.  Actually, the feeling that somebody is in the room with you is called hypnogogic hallucination.  It certainly is very terrifying.  However, although I used to experience this fairly often a few years ago, I have not had an episode like that for a long time.  \n\nHere is a site with lots more information about this condition.

well i won't answer you the long way, because simply i think your still dreaming till now :D\nlol, well i donno man , i think coz u smelled the egg from your room, and as u said u walked from the kitchen to ur room by one wall, which means it's the next room (not too far) .. so u probably smelt it and maybe u heard the refregerator slap too, so you'll feel it.

Those are spirits that your body senses.

In my case, i'm actually fully awake and can hear everything that's going on around me, i just can move, speak or open my eyes.  The first few times it happened, it scared the whey out of me.  I still find it frightening.\n\nI did some research on it and while the people on here that have said it is part of our defense mechanism to keep us from acting out dreams and thereby harming ourselves or others, are correct, the sleep paralysis is actually different in that we are not dreaming when it happens.\n\nYou can use any and/or all of the search engines available and find quite a bit of information on it.\n\nOne of the things i find most helpful is a tip i read on one of the sites.  It said to rapidly move your eyes back and forth or to try moving your feet.  While these don't always work, i have found that sometimes they do and when they do work, i can bring myself out of it.\n\nAnother thing i do is try not to sleep during the day if i'm home alone.  In my case, it happens if i nap; but, because of some other health issues, i nap a lot.  So, if i have to sleep during the day, i will either do it while my husband is home or i'll call my sister or a friend ~ in any case, i ask someone to either come in or call after an hour and wake me up.\n\nThere are some that associate sleep paralysis with narcolepsy, so you might want to use the available search engines and do some research.\n\nFOR THE PERSON WITH THE NECK PROBLEMS:  Could you please explain how it is related to your neck problems?  I, too, have neck problems and i'm always wanting to learn more about the sleep paralysis.

You really were not breathing for real before you started dreaming about it. Outside stimulus actually works itself into your brain. Think about this.... have you ever been asleep and having a dream, and your alarm clock started going off(in real life) and that noise somehow worked it's way into your dream? Or maybe this.... you are having a dream, and in your dream you hear a phone ringing, only to wake up and find that your phone really is ringing? Or how about the famous pee dream? You dream that you need to pee so you go to the bathroom and pee(in your dream), only to wake up and realize you have peed the bed? Even if you wouldn't have stopped dreaming, you wouldn't have died. The worst that would have happened is that you would have passed out, but once you passed out you would have started breathing again. It is impossible to kill yourself by holding your breath!! You will pass out first and once you do you will start breathing again.

This scary experience is known as "sleep paralysis."\n\nThere is no known explanation why some people experience this paralysis. It is not harmful, although most people report feeling very afraid because they do not know what is happening.  Within minutes they gradually or abruptly are able to move again; the episode is often terminated by a sound or a touch on the body.\n\nA study found that 35% of subjects with isolated sleep paralysis also reported a history of wake panic attacks unrelated to the experience of paralysis.\n\nYou may be able to minimize the episodes by following good sleep hygiene: getting enough sleep, reducing stress, exercising regularly (but not too close to bedtime), and keeping a regular sleep schedule.\n\nIf you continue to experience this problem, you should contact a physician.  There are doctors that specialize in sleep disorders, and there are tests which can be done to determine if there are any underlying causes.  Call your local hospital and ask for the phone number of the closest sleep lab.  Or if you prefer, you may also discuss this with your Primary Care Physician.  He or she will recommend treatments, or offer a referral to an appropriate specialist.

Thats nothing, when I was three, my sister and cousin were lifted up of the floor while sitting on a sofa! creeeepy, yeah you probably did see something, but because you were not open to it and it more than likely freaked you out, it was just passing through just to get some reaction I guess, anyway, keep your eyes open it may happen again!

I would say if it's been a while since you got up and started moving around, the feeling should be back... I would call your doctor.  It could've been like a pin stroke.

one time i dreamed that my stuffed animal came to life and raped me. then i woke up and started going about my day, when suddenly i realized i was still asleep. i tried to open my eyes but i couldn't open them. i screamed and someone came to my rescue and i woke up....then suddenly i realized i was still asleep....a continuous cycle for what seemed like forever where i couldn't move or make any sounds. that's the worst one i can think of right now.

I have them too..Usually there will be a circumstance in the dream that requires me to act, ie: run, walk, answer the phone, make a phone call, jump...etc. in the dream I cannot move..in real life I am also trying to move and cannot..Sometimes I know it is a dream but cannot move enough to wake myself up...I HATE these dreams..When I finally can move my body, I can wake up....It is caused from poor blood circulation and do not sleep on your back..It will happen every time..

It has happened to me. I have woke up and cannot move or speak. I try to scream and nothing comes oujt. I have even seen something approach me. TRY your HARDEST to move even a finger. Once you can do that you'll come out of it. I read that it has omething to do with the REM part of sleeping. The body wakes up during a deep sleep and that is why I would see something coming at me. Many others have been through the same thing. Talk to a sleep specialist or a neurologist.
