Sleep paralysis happens in the rapid eye movement or REM sleep as it is named, in this stage you are likely to have dreams, and the body prevents your muscles from moving to help stop your body from acting dreams out and substantially hurting yourself.
Sleep paralysis is when you wake up while this REM sleep is happening and thus you feel like your body is locked and cannot move.
But this may not happen to only sleeping people, as people have reported that they have gotten sleep paralysis while being fully awake.
One of the things reported while having sleep paralysis is hallucinations, which is usually part of dreams.
