Anyone else experienced this before. My mind was like awake but my body was asleep. Couldn't move or open my eyes for about a minute. So scary. I thought I died lol

Yes I used to have that when I was younger. It is absolutely terrifying. Best just to try to relax and know that it will come okay.
never heard of it
why does it happen?

Omg, that sounds so scary. I've never had it like that, i had this thing once, where when i woke up, i couldn't open my eyes, i was really scared, i had to stumble to my parents room. After like 2 minutes i could open them, but they really hurt.
Yes this happened to me whilst I was younger, very scary but after like a min it wore off
Well I am not sure if they know why it happens but it can be brought on by fatigue and stress. I haven't had it for awhile and you may not have it again, Paul but I know how scary it is. Luckily it is not dangerous and does pass. If you are worried check with the doctor.

I had this just the other week, actually, it isn't scary, but I felt like screaming my head off. Thought a ghost was attacking me, reading up on it etc..
I just woke up in a room with no lights on, couldn't blink, couldn't scream, God, felt like I was in fluffing Saw!
Well maybe not scary for you but when you have it the first time just out of the blue it is.
