okay so for about the past 5 years  as soon as i fall asleep i have a sudden urge(like panic stricken that something bad is happening like someone in house, house on fire, blah blah blah)to jump out of bed. But when i go to do this i open my eyes only to relize i can not move, i know i am awake because others see this happen, they talk to me while it happens, i can not hear them but i can see there lips moving. Fanilly i have to sat my fear aside and calm down and stop trying to move and useally in 5 or 10 secs i can move. It is really scary. i do not take any sleeping meds. Does anyone else suffer with this or ever heard of it>?

That is called sleep paralysis.  It's a mechanism to prevent us from acting out our dreams.  When it's not working at the right time two things can happen.  Sleep walking (when this mechanism fails to make the disconnect while you are dreaming), and sleep paralysis when the mechanism kicks in while you are concious.  try googling it for more info.  

I've gotten it a few times myself but very rare.

HI:  I also have experienced that type of catatonic state.  What is happening is that your are in jthe in between state.  No at sleep or awake.  The worse thing you can do is panic.  This is not astral-projection as you are not seeing your body in bed as you float around or above your bed before leaving for better places.  I have experience what you are experiencing, when it happens just remember to trust God and you will be find.  No harm will come to you.  Just be afraid of fear itself.  As you experience it only lasts for a few seconds to minutes.  If you are able to go to sleep concious, you will experience Lucid Dreaming.  This type of dreaming is the most satisfying because you will remember every detail like if you woke up inside.  Usually there is a big release of enery when this experience happens.  Well I hope this helps.  If you have additional questions just write to me or e-mail me.  Good Luck
