Answer #1

You are fine. The condition is called hypnagogic sleep or sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain awakes from a REM state, but the body paralysis persists. This leaves the person fully conscious, but unable to move. The paralysis can last from several seconds to several minutes. It isn’t common, but it is completely normal.

Answer #2

Well, not too many people can voluntarily move or open their eyes when they’re asleep.

Answer #3

Don’t worry about it it used to happen to me as well. I think it is just a dream. A fear of no control over anything including yourself… just tell yourself before you go to sleep that your not going to have this dream. If it continues then you should look into lucid dreaming.
