Weird seized penguines lol

Last night I happened to see a documentary about Calyptic attacks (I'm quite positive I spelled that wrong but I don't like to use dictionaries unless it's to prevent embarassing myself, and I doubt anyone would know how the f to spell that just from hearing it) and it reminded me of another dream I used to have sometimes:

I wake up in one of those Ball sea things (I used to love those when I was way younger, always fun when travelling by ferry...nearly as fun as running from security after they caught me playing at the video-poker slots again... I was around 5-7 years old back then so they were quite pissed at me from time to time :-D) and can't move an inch of my body...I'm nearly completely covered with balls and I can see only so much from what's happening around me. I keep seeing flicks of people passing by but can't make them notice me at all, since I can't speak up nor move. With time passing I become anxious, since I'm afraid to be forgotten there.

That's about as much as I remember, been a while now...

Anyways, when watching the documentary I realised that what I dreamt is pretty exactly what one would understand as a Calyptic attack.
(When having one, your body falls into a complete paralysis, but you remain consciousness all the time. However your blood pressure drops and your breathing is lowered to a minimum, visually not even noticable. So basically you seem to be dead for an outsider. They were talking about a case where a woman was actually brought into the morgue 3 times during her life because the doctors thought she was dead. Eventually she'd come out of paralysis a few hours after the attack.
