I think it was about 30 seconds or so, as it was long enough to realise that I was conscious and try everything to realise that I couldn't move. My experience of it in dreams doesn't seem to be sleep paralysis, as it was normally part of a bad scenario (i.e. the old hollywood thing of you being taken to cooking in a pot by canibals) where my paralysis made sense to the situation, but was part of a full dream that had lead to that point. I could be wrong, but that's the way I've interpretted it.
- Chris2048 14y agoI've gotten the same thing, usually when sleep deprived. Often, during the paralysis, I experience weird things that are part of the dream-like state I'm in; The feeling of something like a cat thrashing and hissing on top of me, or a strange spider-like leggy thing being on top of me, or the sensation of being watched, surrounded or having something near me. This feeling disappears as soon as I can move.

That's probably your primal brain freaking out for being paralyzed in the dark.
