   Short answer, no; the paralysis is a natural part of REM sleep...keeps   
   us from gettin' up and running around while dreaming. Next time it   
   happens, try to just relax and observe, knowinng that soon enough ( a   
   matter of minutes at max....seconds, more likely...) the paralyzing   
   neurochemicals will flush out of the system and you'll be bouncing up   
   to scramble up some eggs and snauzzz-i-juz! :)
