I experience sleep paralysis periodically. I often find it is associated with a nightmare. Awful feeling.
It's a never happened to me at least that I know of, and I hope it never does, although it's perfectly natural. Sleep paralysis is when our bodies are still in a dream state but our mind has woken up. When we dream, our bodies can't move. Evolution selected for our ancestors who were not able to act out their dreams.

i experience it often at work, I work 24 hour shifts and get 1-2 hours of sleep per shift, when I finally fall asleep and the pager tones drop sometimes I can not move for a minute or so. You just have to keep trying to wake your body up and move on, some of the crews I work with thought the stations were haunted when it happened to them and I had to explain sleep paralysis to them. If you are not aware of what it is it can be quite terrifying, now i has happened so much to me it is almost normal, Again It only happens at work when I am extremely tired and get sleep in 20-30 minute increments.
I haven't experienced this in a hammock yet. It has happened to me many times over the years while in bed.
It's happened to me when I was hanigin at a metro park. Some early morning walkers were approaching on the path near my hammock. I could hear them talking and getting closer but I just couldn't make myself move and aknowledge them. At the time I just chocked it up to being out of it. I had some crazy dreams before that too.
