Is that out of body experience?

Sometimes, just before I fall asleep, I find myself unable to move or make any sound, however I am aware of what is going on around me. I can hear some noise and I feel unease. I want to move but my body dosn't respond and I feel petrified that I will stop breathing.

Answer:
This isnt an economics question, however I have also taken psychology as well. Your situation is not uncommon, everyone has them and they can be one of two things.
1)Lucid dreaming where you are dreaming but are aware of yourself and can control thoughts, actions.
2)Most people dont know this, but when you sleep your brain secretes a chemical that renders your entire body numb to prevent you from acting out your dreams and hurting yourself. Usually it wears off when you wake up but sometimes it doesnt so you feel paralysis during an awake state.

I've had #1 and #2 and even cases where I'm dreaming of #2
Sounds more like sleep paralysis
out of body is when you look down on yourself, and can leave your body to go into other rooms etc. without moving your physical body.
It doesn't sound like it to me... You didn't actually leave your body so it's not an out of body experience.
I guess it could be twightlight sleep, but I don't think so, that sounds like an epilepsy. I'm no doc. But, there is a form of epilepsy that does that. Its a silent epilepsy and different things bring it on. Even an allergy can do. Maybe a pillow case or something or down pillow. I just don't know. Please have that checked. And don't take any silly answers. You have to be assertive with docs. That form of epilepsy if that is what it is can is related to or is the epilepsy that is slang termed "stare off epilepsy" do you sometimes find yourself spaced out for a few seconds during the day? You probably need to be checked. Hate to scare ya. Be very assertive.
Suggest you consult with a qualified neurologist. A cmplete physical examination is warranted. Do not put this off!
There are not "out of body" experiences in economics. Only "out of pocket" experiences. :-)
no - it sounds more like hypnogogia.

And you are not actually awake, as such, which is why the experience seems so terrifying.
i believe it's called falling asleep.
