Ok this is one of the wierdest dreams I'v ever had.
I was on some big ship, and I decided to dive into the water. So I jumped in ( must have been like 20 meters deep) hit the bottem with my feet, and was just fine. Went to push up off the floor, and well I just didnt go up. So I started to get really panicy, so I was just kicking my legs frantically and I was making very little progress. Then I started to choke, I tried to breathe in, and about a litre of water gushed into my mouth. I remember thinking ( don't know whether it was in my dream or like my real life thoughts) that I was going to die. I could see the surface just ahead of me. Then suddenly I made it to the surface. I gasped for air...
Thats when I awoke, fully awake, and I remeber panting ( like being awake in bed) for about 5 mins straight. It was so wierd... and very very scary!
So today I told my best mate bout the dream, and how I was awake gasping for air. And here was our convo ( written on a copy page because were meant to be studying for out tests that were like 10 mins).
Him: Yea I have dreams like that all the time.
Me: Really?
Him: yea like a couple of nights ago I had one.
Me: Ok then?
Him: I was "riding" this one and I thought it was a double bed so I went to roll over, and I woke up on the floor after banging my head.
Me: What do ya mean ya thought it was a double bed?
Him: I dno... I just did...
Me: Eh yea basically the same...
Just thought I'd stick that in there. Just a little added thing to do with my dream :)

Sounds like you woke up in REM and when that happens you're essentially paralyzed until your body catches up with your brain. Scary, not uncommon though. Hope you don't go through anything like it again anytime soon. One time I woke myself up reaching for the sky, sitting straight up, in an effort to climb a mountain in my dream, and I started to fall just as I made it to the top. Freaked me out for a week. I was sure it was a sign that I was going to die.

Sometimes I dream that I'm running from an evil moster and suddenly I'm stuck in place and can't run any further. Then I realize I'm sleeping on my stomach and the mattress is keeping me from going.

I have those deep water dreams all the time. I'm usually out to sea on a swimming pool raft and can't stay on it. There's always so much water, and I wake up just before I drown! I'm always amazed I don't float the bed...if you get my drift. ;)
