Do you not get the feeling of something being wrong? I've only just had this start happening in the last few months and twice now I've known there was someone just outside our door and in the house, and I need so badly to reach my wife to wake her up, but I can't move my hand.

In my experience it's horrible.

That's pretty much exactly my experience. "Waking up", feeling there's a stranger in the house (or an evil spirit/presence), and not being able to do anything about it, except panic with my eyes closed (can't open them), until somehow I fall back asleep. Then I always wonder whether it was a dream or not.
