Why do I always dream that I'm trying to scream but I can't?

I consistently dream about trying to scream so hard but nothing comes out. I want to scream out loud; I'm like half awake/half asleep but I can never make myself scream. The other night I actually woke up when I screamed and I heard myself gasp a little. Why do i have these dreams?

There is a possibility to have sleep apnea. It may be your body's way of trying to wake you up when you stop breathing for a few seconds. That's also may be why your gasping. I would get checked by a specialist. It's a serious condition, if you don't take care of it...

Also your brain puts out some type of chemical that immobilizes your body while you sleep, then you can't hurt yourself, if your dreaming that you are falling, or running, whatever.
