Have you ever experienced your brain wake up before your body, and your paralyzed for a brief time?
It's so scary when your eyes are wide awake but you can't move any body part or talk. It's like your briefly paralyzed. And then after 20 or 30 seconds you can move and function again.
It almost felt like something was pushing me down.

Yes, it's horrible - but extremely common, and harmless.
It's called "sleep paralysis": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

What you are describing is called cataplexy. In and of itself it is benign; however, it is often associated with neurological disorders. If it is happening freuqently, you should probably think about having it evaluated to make sure you don't have something additional going on.
