No.. she isn't in a coma! By the way, thanks everybody. Really appreciate it.

If she wakes up before the muscle tone recovers, how is she able to scream? She usually screams "Mom!!" And supposedly she is able to move her neck and head.

I heard about a strange dream from my friend where she found her entire body (below neck) sort of tied, so that she cant move her limbs and trunk. And she feels really uneasy and screams but it is heard only as a little merely audible to the person sleeping next to her. She requests everybody to wake her up as soon as they sense this happening. It occurs repeatedly. And as I have observed, it occura mostly on days when she was sad or depressed by something!Anybody have any clue? Is this some disorder?

How is this possible?Anyways I dont have a cat.

Why do people crave popularity?

It seems, its still a mystery as to why they were reversed? By the way thanks for your help! I really appreciate it.

Do anyone of you have a clue as to why do we have all these sensory and motor decussations? Is there any evolutionary importance to these? Please do help!
