Shaking in Dreams! waking up and I cannot move

[willmuse]

Hello:)

My name is William and I am 18 years old.

A few weeks ago I had a strange thing happen to me when I was sleeping although I cannot be sure if I actually was sleeping or half-awake.

It has started to happen again and is making me worried about going to sleep.

As i'm about to drop off, my brain will storm all crazy thoughts to the point where i'm not sure if i'm awake or dreaming. I will try & wake up and when I open my eyes I literally cannot move. This however isnt the worse thing to happen. Just before I wake up to this paralysis, I can feel my body shake very very violently - but i'm sure it's in my head. I finally wake up & i'm fine! I finally drop of to sleep and once again I will shake ( not physically ) or at least it feels as if I am... This is all very hard for me to explain in words :) so i'm sorry if this is rather blunt ! please advise medics & non-medics:) Pleaseeee


Thanks in advance
William

Had the same experience though instead of loud ringing in the ears, somehow, i heard a "creeping" music being played.

hi everyone, its now 4.03 am and i have just come out of what i call (a shivery dream) this first started happening to me when i was 16 im now 29, First time it happened i was in bed at night listening to a cd, i like to listen to music or watch tv before i go to sleep as it helps me to fall asleep faster. anyway this night while i was lying on my bed all of a sudden my body was paralyzed i could not move no matter how hard i tried, my eyes were open so i could see my bed room and i could hear the cd playing in the back round so i know i was awake.i was terrified and tried to pull myself free, but it was no good the more i fought it the worse it got then a loud sound started happening in my ears and head like if someone hit you in the ear (i think its called bells) i automatically thought it was something evil as i could not get my head around what was happening to me, REALLY SCARY  i eventually pulled myself free but when it stopped my heart was racing and i was so still in the bed thinking to myself what just happened. i prayed and prayed to god to protect me, ive heard and seen the weirdest things over the years,one night it happen in my room again i moved my eyes towards the door i saw a white face (not human) peeping in at me while i was going through another episode, other times it was like i was being raped by something evil, other times i was levitating off my bed shaking violently, tonight it happened again bit this time the sound was like an old tape rewinding really loud, thank god im not the only one experiencing this,it is very very very frightening, i really did feel like a crazy person until i saw all your'er comments tonight, thank you for sharing them

Im 18. I have had a few if these experiences recently. It started about when I turned 17 and has been active during the year. I'm going to try to tell what I expeinced as detailed as I can. I stayed up late tonight playing a android app called Pocket legends. I start to get sleepy so I lay down and I close my eyes. The last time I looked at the time it was 1:34am something. Suddenly I felt like I was awake, but I had my eyes closed because I wanted to go back to sleep. I feel this weird feeling I don't know how to explain it but its like a feeling that I know what's about to happen so I try to wake up. I'm so sleepy but I want to wake up but I cant.

I'm indenting so its easily more readable

So to continue , I feel this unwanted presence. I'm still so sleepy but I want to wake up. I always feel that if it thinks I'm asleep it will go away. I feel this presence getting stronger, and I want to open my eyes to see what's there but I'm too afraid to do so. Then I fell this shaking thing. There must be another word to describe this feeling because shaking defiently doesn't compare to this. I feel like its shaking me very very intensely. Not like a shaking to where your trying to wake someone up. It feels like vibrating and shaking but with a lot of intensity. Also I can hear this intense ringing noise. Its like I'm vibrating and the ringing noise intensifies this feeling. Its most intense towards my head. Then I feel like this thing is levitating me. Then the shaking towards my head gets worse.  I'm grinding my teeth and I don't know  if it were my teeth or bones but I could here it rattling because of the shaking. Also the ringing sound sounds like those high frequency dog whistle sounds. I can then feel myself levitating but I'm kind of curled up with my knees near my chest but my arms hanging down.

I'm really trying to move my arms to try to wake myself up but I can barely do it. My arms are really floppy and hard to move. Then I feel myself lowering and Im  back on my bed. I'm desperiatly trying to wake up but the best I could manage was to peak open my eyes. I almost woke up I could feel it but then I had a overwhelming urge to go back to sleep. I tried to fight it but I couldn't fully open my eyes and I fell back into the intense shaking feeling. It then levitated me again. I think and in my mind call Jesus to help me. I feel that if I look at whatever was doing that to me it would kill me. I repeatedly call Jesus for help then I started to lower back into my bed. I'm in the struggle to open my eyes again, thankfully I was able to. I woke up at 3:50 out if that horrible nightmare. I know what happened actually happened, but it feels like it didn't. after that I prayed and repented of my sins then I tried to research if anyone else had these ezpericnes.  Then I found this and I read a few and wrote my own. Have faith in Jesus and just try not to do things you know are bad. if you slip up pray for forgiveness, try praying every morning and evey night. Don't trust the scientific reasoning behind this trust in what you truly think it is.

Will, I get exactly what you described. Does anyone know the cause of sleep paralysis..and the violent shaking? I didn't used to get the violent shaking... what's freaking me out is that this is progressively changing me. It used to be sounds, feelings and a feeling over someone over me or touching me but now i'm able to see my own body, while viewing my dreams..

For example I literally just woke up 20 minutes ago from this happening: I fell into sleep and became aware that I was sleeping because my bedroom became very clear in my mind.. I could see my light on and felt awake but when I went to move I couldn't and then I could feel this struggling, vibrating motion in my body and head... I don't know how but suddenly I was looking down at myself laying down in bed and I could hear my mum and her ex fighting at the end of the hall (but they haven't lived together in years.... so I realised that I hadn't actually lifted myself out of bed and I realised I was still dreaming).  Then suddenly all of my socks and mess came flying out of my room... And Mum says to me clean up your mess. And go to bed, now.  It was really freaky and so I said to her "Why are you getting mad at me for no reason? I know why because you're fighting with Lori again". - - In this episode I was clearly aware of present day relationships..like my mum and her ex had got back together, and the new tenant who now lives in our house was in his room... There's this growing awareness during my sleep paralysis and changes like the violent shaking and vivid frightening arguments and it's really scaring me...
Does any one know the cause?

Last night I had what was maybe one of the worst nights of sleep I've ever experienced. I am 15, and for recently I had a dream of being on a higher area, and if i fell, the bottom and pretty much everything around was dark. Looking down to the bottom was pitch black. To start off about my experience last night, I woke up around 1:30 from going to bed at around 10. I believe I began dreaming when I fell back asleep after 1:30. This dream was different from any other dream. I don't remember much details, but I do remember I was in my house, and everything was exactly the same as it is in real life. I was on my back porch and coming up the stairs was a person who I thought was my uncle, I don't know how but I just thought it was him,  but as he got closer it was somebody else who seemed out of place. He got closer and noticed my confusion. Immediately everything got blurry, and I thought I had been drugged. I "woke" up and I was in my exact spot in which I was sleeping in and as I opened my eyes, I saw a weird figure of a very deformed girl figure who was on all fours on the couch by me. I don't remember much about or the order of the events that followed but soon after I completely woke up. As I was trying to recall that scene, I recognized it as a dream but I knew I also had that sense of doubt, had it really happened? I also remembered that I had been shaking, almost as if having a seizure, which again, I don't recall if I had actually been physically shaking or not. I was terrified after having spent some minutes thinking of it. The time was 3:23 a.m. I fell back asleep, I woke up due to a dream of being on heights. I moved to a different spot. Paranoid, I began to hear thumps and creaking all around. I finally got to sleep a little more, but woke up about an hour later. I fell asleep for a final time, and when I did wake up, It was because of a dream of being on heights and falling from the platform down to the deep bottom of darkness. In every scene of the dreams of heights I've had, I've been scared of falling, and in most the dreams, I did fall. I usually wake up when I'm falling. If not, I either fly up to the top or just spawn back at the surface. In the dreams I try to remain calm and act like i'm not scared but deep down I'm terrified. I'm not sure how to react about these dreams. Also, in my dreams, I remember seeing a lot of dark shadows. What could this mean? Thanks for reading, if you have ever experienced or know anything of these dreams or their meanings, please help me understand. I don't want to fear having to sleep.
