The reason you can’t move is because you’re still actually asleep. What works for me is continually trying to jolt myself awake

If I’m still asleep, why do I see what’s around me? Am I hallucinating?

You know you’re in your bed, and so that’s what your brain puts you in. You’re close enough to awake that you have awareness you don’t usually have while asleep, but the muscle blocking your brain does to stop you actually moving your body when you move in your dreams is still active. It’s a weird kind of hybrid state.
