Yuh-huh. I suffer from it occasionally and experience this right down to the “flailing” trying to wake up. Absolute torture.

Flailing? Paralysis? You don’t see the disconnect there?
In sleep paralysis, you cannot move. It’s right there in the name. When I’m having a sleep paralysis episode, I try very hard to move or scream. All I can achieve is a humming-like sound in my throat yet no actual motion.
I’m sure what you’re experiencing is horrible, but it is not sleep paralysis.

I put flailing in quotes because I’m actually not moving at all. My partner will be laying next to me and completely unaware of what I’m going through. I feel like I’m struggling like mad but I’m absolutely still. So yeah.

That doesn’t sound like what I experience at all. I am paralyzed in both the dream and real life. Sometimes I can even open my eyes and become semi-conscious - yet - I am still paralyzed.
