REM sleep is the state of sleep when we experience dreams. REM sleep paralysis is a condition that occurs when sleep is suddenly interrupted and the person was having a dream. The paralysis sets in because the transition from being totally asleep to being fully awake is a gradual process. When the disruption is sudden the speed with which the body and the brain reacts is not the same and you are likely to experience the paralysis.
Why does it occur when you are having dreams? The reason for this is that a dream is not a threat to you physically. When the brain is immediately awake in the middle of a dream you are actually trying to physically respond to something that is not there and the body goes into a state of paralysis. Can you imagine what would happen if we reacted to everything that happened whilst we are asleep.
