Paralized

I've had many dreams like this but they're not always exactly the same. They're hard to describe too so I'll do my best.

I was sleeping in bed alone after hubby had gone to work in the morning (in real life and in my dream). I heard the front door open and footsteps come into my bedroom. I then heard rummaging on hubby's dresser. I convinced myself it was hubby coming back for something he forgot so as not to freak myself out. I want to look but I can't move AT ALL...not even open my eyes.

Another morning I was sleeping on the couch in the morning with my son in my arms after hubby had gone to work (in real life and in my dream). I heard someone in the bedroom and heard the footsteps coming toward me on the couch. I knew that I would not be able to open my eyes or move my head since I've had these dreams before but I was able to put out my hand. Someone grabbed it!

In these dreams I feel like I want to suddenly jump up and scare the crap out of whoever is there but I can't move.

These dreams feel more real than any dream I've ever had.

I have also dreamed that I have gotten up and out of bed and gotten ready to go somewhere only to wake up and realize I'm still in bed so I get up and get ready only to wake up and realize that I'm still in bed! Like a dream within a dream within a dream.
