The Short Answer

People also tend to hallucinate that there is something terrible/ominous in the room with them as well and it can be quite terrifying, but instances such as yours happen a lot too where you are aware you have come out of sleep, but you can't move and can't yet consciously control your breathing.

Interestingly some people have a sleep pathology where they do not inhibit movement during REM sleep (REM behavior disorder) which causes them to physically act out their dreams. The patient isn't the one complaining, it's usually the SO getting punched in the face while their partner acts out beating Usain Bolt in the 100m dash. Source: MD who deals with this kind of shiz
