I just had this the other day, thankfully I had read something about it and it came to mind so I knew what it was. There was no dark figure, no terror, just the inability to move. I would describe the mental feeling as confusion, but then I realized what was happening.
I was having a dream that somehow there was a hidden room in our house that we somehow just discovered. I was exploring it, my wife was there too. Suddenly I woke up, tried to talk to her, but no sound would come out. I tried to get out of bed, but I couldn't. General feeling of "what the [censored] is going on," then "oh, this must be sleep paralysis." I told myself it would go away and I'd wake up, and I did, but when I looked at the clock, it was at least a full hour later. I had gone back to sleep, even though I had no recollection of it.
...and that must be when they anal probed me!

I hated that dream.
I have been out of college for 5 years and still get that, or similar, dreams.
