You ARE awake, not dreaming, you can't move, and you generally hallucinate. I woke up and could hear my family getting ready to leave, but I was staring straight ahead. I saw a dark figure in the corner of the room, just standing there. I tried to turn over and call for help, but nothing happened. It was like I was only thinking about doing it, but nothing actually happened.

That's scary, I hope it doesn't happen to me any time soon.

And, I'm sorry but I chuckled at the "I tried to turn over and call for help" thing. I don't know why.

Apparently ~8% of people get it in their lifetime. Now that's a scary thought.
