   This sounds like sleep paralysis, which has been discussed on this group   
   a lot in the past. I suggest you search google groups if no one replies   
   directly.

   I think you're probably stuck with your brain being 'off' - quite a lot   
   of it is switched off during dreaming. Lack of dream body strength could   
   be interpreted as a mild version of sleep paralysis. I get this   
   sometimes (but not sleep paralysis).
