Experience description:

I felt tingling all over my body, then I notice i feel like i'm not breathing, this frightens me, I then feel myself sinking away from my body. I try to breath but can't, my whole body is paralyzed. This feeling is strangely nice but yet my mind is telling me to breath, as if i don't breath i may go to far and not come back.  It is such a struggle to breath and move.

I don't know if the feeling of me not breathing is that or is it just I'm moving away from my body.

When I managed to move and get up i told my boyfriend, he said it was just a dream, but it happened 2 more times that night.
