Follow-Up:
I have Narcolepsy and what you describe does sound like sleep paralysis which can be associated with Narcolepsy. So does the nightmare part. I suggest you read up on it to see if you have any of the other symptoms and go see a sleep specialist for a MSLT. What do you have to loose? I strongly suggest you see one. I was diagnosed with depression for years before I found out what it really was. PLEASE GO
