I used to be really interested in Astral Projection and had a load of books on the subject and followed their instructions to attempt to achieve projection.
One of the steps is to be able to hold yourself between the state of awake and sleep whilst still remaining concious.
Some people experience the paralysis that you are talking about and the books tell you to focus on something and try to gain control of the situation. You are only scared because it is an unfamiliar situation and feeling.
This is as far as I got with Astral Projection as the paralysis freaked me out. I was a teen at the time and can remember calling out for my parents and no voice coming out but being awake and completely paralysed.
I'd say you are lucky if you can get into this state without all the relaxation techniques and visualisation techniques that would normally be needed to achieve this.
I say embrace it, read up about Astral Projection or Real World Projection. You never know, pretty soon you might be able to project yourself to the bedroom of the hot chick next door ;)
