i have a similar problem but what i do is i remain calm and don't panic it makes things worst
i try to move the smaller parts of my body like fingers and toes and eyelids they are the easiest body parts to control the reason is because even though you mind is awake the nerves around your body are still asleep and so when you send the message they to transmit it to the muscle so it is like waking up some one who i a persistent sleeper you got to keep yelling at them figuratively so keep trying and it should eventually wake the rest of your body

oh yes when i was young and afraid of the dark i would awake and think the same thing and when i finally when i could move my body i would scream and cry from fear and wake everyone in my house up and like i said it happened frequently almost daily eventually i thought i was vulnerable to demons lol and i decided any demons who enter my soul would regret it and bam! extremely tough personality and will power

Do you mean like you awaken from a dream but your body remains paralyzed? Thats happens to me it is horrifying and very stressing it is called hypnogogia. The way you can try is to try swallowing so you cam wake up. Or if its just a lucid dream tell yourself time to get up.

actually swallowing can be dangerous to you life if there is enough saliva and it goes down wrong tube your done

Im sure youd awaken from coughing it out. Plus every night we sleep we leave that problem of saliva up to our "auto pilot" i guess.
Report as
yea your right but do you really want to leave that to chance i have seen people struggle when they are awake imagine the horror of knowing you are choking and you don't wake your body up in time and when you take manual control of your body you make a lot of mistakes key fact on why we choke on saliva in the first place
