Okay I am going to do the best I can to explain what I experience while I'm asleep. I can be asleep and all of a sudden its like I wake up, I can't move any part of my body, I can't speak, at first I couldn't open my eyes, but now I can, but I can hear whatever is going on around me, whether it be the tv, or family talking, dogs barking, just everything. I read a post where someone refer's to this as a out of body experience, and he goes on to say he has done this and that.
