shaking while asleep?

I have been having odd experiences while asleep. Its hard to explain but here it is the best i can describe. In the mid of the night, I wake up to the feeling of vibrations/shaking of my body and the bed, my eyes have to be open becasue i can see but cant move them, ill have a major feeling of fear for a couple seconds, but cant move a bit....then it will go away and i feel exhausted, dizzy and just icky all around. I thought at first this could be sleep paralysis, but im not seeing creepy things or anything like that, just my bedroom.

Could this be seizures??

I too have had similar experiences.On one occaision after exposure to photo flashes I came round staring with a colegue calling me. my eyes were locked and I could not move them though I could see. On another occaision in the dentist's chair I had a mild seizure and when he told me to close my mouth though my brain was saying to do so my mouth would not respond. I no longer have full seizures thanks to medication but if I experience one of kicking, normally when I lie down because of not feeling good then I too feel that "icky feeling" that I can only describe as nausia without the desire to vomit. I agree with Nuatdis, any strange experiences that have not come to notice of your doctor see him/her and discuss it with him/her

it could be that is a type of seizure your describing just go see a neuro and he might give u a sleep apnea test to determine if you do even if what u said dsnt happen it still can tell if u have seizure activity going on in your brain and also research the type of seizure there are on the net and see some of the symptoms because some seizures go unoticed lasting only 30sec you might discover u have more symptoms than just the night time thing or it could just be a condition called sleep apnea hope u find out whats going on.
