It seems to be caused by the mechanism that paralyzes you when you're dreaming so that you don't run around acting out your dreams remaining active for some reason while the rest of the mechanisms of normal dreaming shut off, so you're left awake but paralyzed. It's odd, yes, and maybe frightening, but it's not really especially uncommon and it's harmless.
