One of my friends posted this link on his facebook and I was so intrigued by the article. Now this has only happened to me a handful of times but it is the scariest thing ever! You literally cannot move your body, but for the most part you're awake...so weird! I had never really investigated it, but after the article the whole thing definitely made sense. I think it is so awesome how our brain works especially when it comes to dreams/sleep. It is crazy that most our muscles just shut down when we're sleeping so dreams can't be acted out, which explains if you wake-up during a REM cycle the lack of movement that you may have.
Now the second half of the article is a little different. I can't say that I have ever experienced a hallucination, even in the slightest; however, I can see how an interruption in the dream cycle could cause something like this to occur. It was interesting to read the comments from people saying they were about to be possessed or that there were really spirits watching them. I think it could really mess with your head if something like this happened on a reoccurring basis.
Definitely a fascinating article especially if this has ever happened to you
