I was catching a few more minutes of sleep one morning and I realized, I could see my room! My eyes appeared to be half opened. I figured I was still sleeping because I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried and my breathing was involuntary. Another thing I noticed was that my nose was stuffy and I felt my myself struggling to get it cleared, still involuntarily.

I speculate that I may have been dreaming because I noticed that my arms were over my head - which is unusual since I normally don't sleep with them like that. I've had a few dreams before where it felt like I was suffocating. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?
