Question:
Not being able to move when you sleep, having visualizations although I have my eyes open (i think)?
What is this called... it's like I'm awake but I can't move... and sometimes I have these really scary visualizations, like pictures.
Answers:
It is sleep paralysis. I used to have this all the time. I know exactly what you are talking about when you say that your eyes are open but you are also dreaming.
Mine would start with me kind of being aware of being awake and then getting this strong buzzing feeling in my body. I would then feel like I couldn't breathe and also I definitely couldn't move.
Once I was able to move again I would have to make myself stay awake because if not I would start to get that same buzzing feeling and everything would happen all over again.
I would mainly get this if I was sneaking a nap during the day or something.
Once I knew what it was I was able to deal with it a lot better. Now I don't get it...all though I stopped taking naps during the day.
