What Do Recurrent Nightmares Indicate?

I need your help with something. I have these reoccurring dream where I would just fall asleep and I can’t move. It feels and looks real. It’s not comfortable and I would have to relax and wait till it goes away but I have no paitnece to do that so would try so hard to move. It only happens right after I fall asleep. It all started when I had sleep paralysis back in early 2017
