I know it is not really a big deal or serious - that is not what I was trying to ask about or get at. I understand it is a bit silly to mention and is merely a usual albeit an extremely unpleasant but not dangerous thing. I can't tell how long the paralysis really lasts but it does feel like it lasts an interminable period of time before one is able to move or call out. But I wondered if others had the combination - nightmares about the therapist/therapy and then being unable to wake up/move when there is a sense/scene of great peril.
