New to here but not to crazy dreams or whatever you call them.

I have been having dreams for a long time like someone is holding me down and I can't move. This morning around 4 a.m. I was asleep and someone was lying there beside me. I could see shadow and feel them holding me down. I woke up and moves to the living room and went to sleep on the sofa. Still the same experience. My husband leaves home for work at 3:45 and it never happens to me when he's there but it happens all the time. Do anyone know what cause these dreams?

Hi there Carla,

I'm going to ignore the poll, because I don't understand what you're asking. 

As for your direct question... it kind of sounds like you're awaking into what we call Sleep Paralysis.

Do a bit of research on the forum regarding "sleep paralysis" and what you find might calm your nerves some.

Hallo Carla and welcome.
Xanth is correct, what you are experiencing is indeed sleep paralysis (SP). SP is really nothing to fear, it is a common occurrence that prevents a person from getting up and physically acting out their dreams.
In addition you may also be experiencing a phenomena known as "Dwellar on the Threshold". I won't go into detail here but do a search (Google) and you will get a lot of info about this.
Regards 
Grey
