I woke up in the middle of the night from a bad dream and I wasnt able to move. I tried it but I just wasent able then 10 seconds later I was able to again.

Why did that happen? Im cleen for 18 weeks now. I havent been taking any drugs but drinking alcohol like once every 2 weeks or 3.
 
it has nothing to do with drugs really although i'll get this pretty bad during benzo/opiate withdrawal. It is called sleep paralysis. It can be scary at first but it's nothing to be afraid of. Look into astral projection/out of body experiences and you may even find it quite useful.

When you fall asleep you body does this to prevent possible injuries from movement while sleeping.
 
Like RobotRipping said, it's sleep paralysis. I get it relatively often when my sleeping pattern is out of whack.
 
I will get it if I sleep too much or force my self to sleep. The way I stop it is in my mind I picture my self rolling back and forth in bed and soon my body is doing it and my body wakes up. It has nothing to do with drug use, in my opinion. It has happened to me when I had not even tried drugs yet. It's scary but harmless.
 
Wow thanks guys atleast I know know that I shoulnd be scared. Yeah I was so tired when it happend 'I closed my eyes and soemthing apeard than I8i was able to move again and even after that I was dreaming but my dreams were mor elike night mares. They were not ncie at all they were terrifing.
