I don't know if that is possible, but that seems to happen to me quite often. It seems I have this ability to bring myself out of dream paralysis by gathering my energy and twisting my neck. Now after saying this there are several times where I believe I am laying down(wherever I was laying down when I went to sleep) and it is kind of creepy. I can't move any part of my body, my eyes are open and I am usually staring up at the ceiling, not only that but I can hear conversations going on and hear other things going on in the background.

Here is a example:
One time went to sleep on a couch and I had the fan running; I go to sleep then I seem to wake up and I am staring at the ceiling and the fan is running just like it was before I went to sleep it is even light outside. I hear someone talking and cooking, I can't remember if I could smell it(this happened a few years ago). I could not move any part of my body as if I were paralyzed, at that time I knew how to wake myself up so I just used my technique and woke myself and I found out that someone was cooking downstairs and they were talking on the phone.

Is this possible? Was I asleep? Half-sleep/awake? Why does this happen?
It would be great if you guys could help me out.

TIA
