Symptoms include: extreme sleepiness, typically followed by sleep attacks and last for fifteen minutes; dream-like hallucinations; sleep paralysis, where you cannot move when you start to fall asleep or just after you wake up; and cataplexy, which is an abrupt loss of muscle tone (basically, your muscles "fail you").
