held down during nightmare

hi

i was wondering could anyone help?:confused: I have had some horrid nightmares where I feel awake and feel complete terror. Although I think I am awake I cant move a single muscle I try to scream and nothing comes out.Its like something is holding me down and sometimes its like someone is in the room. Has this ever happened to anyone or does anyone know what it could mean?
