This is a pretty weird sleep phenomenon I've had fairly frequently. I'm prone to night terrors, and I thought that these episodes were just more of the same. I'll tell you, horror movies don't pack quite the punch after these.

I get this a lot too (or used to, hasn't happened in a while now). Never actually at night, though -- it only happens to me if I'm resting during the day.

Yeah... but have you seen the Ring? It's the only scary movie worth seeing, IMO.

good to see you back, maybe you'll inspire me to actually update my J

Yeah, it was pretty good, but doesn't come close. ;)

Regarding Sleep Paralysis, I've had a few of these episodes myself. I never seemed to mind them. Basically, I'd wake up to find myself completely unable to move. Other times, I would feel like I was moving, but my body would stay put. On some occasions, I'd pull elements out of a dream I'd been having right into the waking world, finding myself both paralyzed-yet-awake, and still hallucinating some tiny (I mean like a particular object) part of the dream. This stuff used to happen the most when I'd go to bed while playing with a galvanic skin response machine. Basically, you put two fingers on the machine. It has an audio out jack that you put headphones into. Conductance of skin is positively correlated with higher stress, and higher conductance (as detected by the device) would lead to higher pitches coming out of the machine. Anyway, I'd go to bed with this thing on sometimes, as I'd been doing biofeedback training for back pain. Sometimes the noise from the machine would pull me out of dreams in weird spots, and I'd find myself ( ... )

I've had these too, where I wake up but can't move,
and then the last one, I was held down, and kissed
by what seemed to be a glowing fem apparation, whos
touch and kiss were cold as ice, then she dissappeared
and suddenly I could move, I jerked up, the clock showed
10 minutes had past, and I could still feel the cold
where she touched me....and I don't have a female roomie!

Hmm, it is unusually, at least for me, for hallucinations to be pleasant. It is failry common and well studied though:
