I woke up one time and could not move a single muscle in my body. I was screaming for someone to help but I couldn't vocalize or form words. It was terrifying but someone explained to me that I wasn't awake, I was stuck between awake and asleep and my body was still sleeping.

I've been through that. It can be scary until you know what causes it and the special thing you can do during these moments.
Next time it happens to you, try this: 1) Chill. Don't fight it. You won't die. This is just nature's way of keeping you from acting out your dreams and hurting yourself. 2) Imagine yourself rolling out of your physical body. Just like you would roll over in bed. 3) Will yourself to move away from your sleeping body. 4) Examine your sleeping body if you wish, kick the tires.. 5) Travel where you will.
Enjoy. 
Sounds like someone has been reading Journeys out of the Body? Robert Monroe?? If not this is exactly wha the explains in the experience of that second state if you will.
Well I'm not sure if I've experienced sleep paralysis, I've had many experiences where I felt as if there was a great amount of weight holding me in my exact position that it was almost hard to breath, so the only thing I could move were my eyes. I'm guessing its the same thing you guys are describing, if so yea I've had a number of those experiences when I was younger. Last time this happened to me was probably a year ago. Now i wish for it...

Muscular paralysis is a normal human condition when sleeping. When we are in REM sleep our brain is in a state of beta activity. During a beta brain-state we dream, have rapid eye movements, secrete from our penis or vagina, and experience muscular paralysis. So, when one is abruptly woken from REM sleep the paralysis associated with that REM sleep will still remain, albeit it is only temporary until the brain returns to a theta state. The transitions between brain states are not instantaneous, but rather they are gradual.

I've only had sleep paralysis when I was on pain medication for my wisdom teeth operation. I saw light flashing underneath my bedroom door from the outside. I thought it was a flashlight and there was an emergency in the house because the flashing was erratic. I couldn't move. An alien burst into my room and moved toward the foot of my bed. I couldn't move. The alien made its way to my side. I was paralyzed by fear. I snapped to, could move, and was staring at my darkened room, no alien.
I won't lie, this was probably the most scared I've ever been.

You guessed it.
I have read all three of his books.
It was interesting to read of someone who shared this type of phenomenon and who also had a background in science.
