That's probably even worse than my experience... I had surgery (not for wisdom teeth) and woke up still intubated before being taken to the recovery room. All I was aware of was not being able to breathe in or out; I didn't know I was intubated. #1 scariest moment of my entire life.
I can relate to that too, I've had 2-3 episodes of sleep paralysis... basically you partially wake up so your mind is aware at some level, but you cannot move any part of your body, not even your eyelids. First 2 times it was so terrifying, last time I remembered and just tried to fall back asleep, still horrifying though. I wasn't worried about breathing however, so that was probably equally awful.
