Theres No Worse Dream Than These Dreams That We Have!
Posted: 08-20-07 04:07am

I just finish having that dream. My body is intensly shaking like CRAZY! and my head. i kant wake up is like im trap in my dream i know im in the dream because ive had this for about a year now. and sometimes i go from DREAM TO DREAM is like i thought i really woke up off the shaking and im looking around but i still really diidnt wake up get me? just now i had the shaking dream i diidnt even put my mine to it because if i force my body to wake up i'll wake up with intense headache. well abviously i try to wake up like trying to open my eyes back in forth. ITS EXACKLY TO SOMEONE HAVING A SEIZURE. thats what the dream is. If you were to say this dream to someone like a cousin or a freind they dont put to much attention to it and say thats just a dream. Im like saying in my mine you dont know what im talking about. OK after i wake up I do get a scared and then i have to turn on all the darn lights on, on my room. AGAIN: My entire body is shaking and i cant seem to wake up and if i try to move i cant im really stiff {Extremely stiff} im even tried knocking on my wall to call my mom to see how does my body reacht to the dream am i shaking a little bit alot or im i just not moving at all just sleeping it never works knocking on the wall. i cant even knock on the wall because im extremely stiff its like i dont got no power steering in me lol. Its horrible! And the dream last about 1-2 mins. sometimes less. Also i can hear the entire house talking perfectly i can even hear my mom talking and ive tried calling her name and knocking on teh wall but my body for some reason in the dream wont let me speak. Nor knock on the wall because i cant. What i tried doing one day is to see if my body is actually moving not in the dream, if im actually moving in real life. so what i tried doing is putting my hand out from my covers and putting ONE finger up and see if that finger was up. when i woke up My hand was out the covers but no finger was up.....when i woke up i possibly put it down i dont know... i wonder how my body reachts if i had a video camera taping me Well it happens to me just like 2 times a month so i cant film 30 days straight waiting for this to happen again. Well i just woke up off this dream and went to go to do some research on the internet its 4.22 AM im kind of scared if i go to sleep it'all come right back again to that horrible dream again witch it always happens. i diidnt really get to even sleep i think i slept proly like 18 minutes i was on ebay i remembered the clock saying like 3:54 i turned off the computer.and now i turned it back on to do research see if there anybody that had this dream and YES im not the only one. i really thought i was the only one that had this type of dream. i told my mom that i was having this crazy dream/shaking dream and she said thats of you playing those video games that get you so intense. well i havent played video games for about a week so.....i once thought that sense i sleep with my TV on it had to do something with that idk. probably i dont sleep concentrated i mildy leave the tv sound on barely. First of all icant sleep with my tv i just wont go to sleep dont matter if im extremely tired. sometimes after having the dream i cant go to sleep for like the next 3 hours just starring at the roof of my room.well if anyone has something else besides these type of dream that {WE} have it cant be worse. i didnt put mine to the shaking dream this time i know i was in a dream so i just woke up but it was still horrible. Is this like a sleep disorder...Or it just a bad dream....

My name is LAZARIO Im 16

Holy crap!! Finally someone else who has the same problem!! This has been happening to me sporadically for about 5 years!! Nightmares AND the shaking episodes. It always starts with my head but sometimes includes my whole body! I never had it checked out because I always thought it was maybe in a dream or something or maybe it only FELT like it was happening. Recently I've started getting them more frequently so I mentioned it to my best friend whom lived with me for about a year and she said she had actually witnessed it before!! I do actually move. She said it wasn't really like a seizure more like flopping around with limp hands. I was 20 when it started and will be 25 next month. I just got back from my doctor TODAY and decided to google it and see what I could come up with. He took some blood samples but he's referred me to a neurosurgeon and I'll be going to a sleep clinic to see if they can diagnose it. I will re-post and let everyone know what they say. Peace & Love!! Muah!!

Since the shaking episodes and nightmares have worsened I did go see the doc yesterday. I will be seeing a neurologist and going to a sleep clinic but wasn't able to get in for about a month. In the meantime I've been experiencing anxiety before bed and have been going days and days without a good nights sleep. He prescribed me some xanex ( I got the generic brand) and took it for the first time last night. It worked AMAZINGLY!! I woke up feeling refreshed today and like I had actually gotten a full nights rest for the first time in a couple weeks. I just wanted to let everyone know in case they have this problem. This medication has definitely worked for me thus far!! Peace & Love!! Muah!!

Fear when woken up by shaking or pressure
Posted: 02-15-08 16:00pm

Twice in the past few months I have woken up with a real sense of FEAR.

The first time I felt as though someone had rolled over me. I actually felt the weight pressure on my body. I woke up feeling confused and had a real sense of fear. I went back to sleep quickly.

The second time (last night) I woke up feeling as though my whole body was being shaken and again that sense of fear was very real. I can remember at the beginning of the shaking I was trying to yell out to my eldest daughter but couldn't seem to make myself heard. Then I woke up singing "Jesus Loves Me This I know".... I suppose part of an inbred reaction to fear. I remember waking feeling so scared to even look. I kept my eyes closed and returned to sleeping.

I'm a very sensible 51 year old woman and I've had some difficulty at times staying asleep (now and again I get up at night for an hour and then go back to bed), I really am concerned about this strange occurance. It's the sense of fear that concerns me most.

Any ideas?

OMG this has been happening to me 3 days in a row so far... it starts out as a bad dream and that mental fear shaking from the bad dream keeps shaking harder and i can feel myself going into this horrible mental fear seizure which i cannot get out of.

I can feel myself going into this mental fear coma so i try to stop it by waking up but i can barely lift my eyelids up and down and i try to scream for someone or just to wake up and i can barely even mumble a word. I usually pass out for trying to force my body to wake up so hard and realize it later.

When i do get into these horrible mind-fear shaking "comas" i cannot get out of them and its like being in a rollercoaster going thousands of miles per hour and my whole body feels the shaking. Along with the shaking, it is so scarry at the time you cant even imagine.

The first time i had this was in a dream where i was in a house and it felt i was being bombed and an A-bomb was giong off right outside the house. The second dream i had was that i could see this mental image of a face screaming at me while i was having this "siezure" like experience.

Oh my god thankfully i found others who have this. Last year during high times of stress I suffered several very frightening episodes of sleep paralysis and for a while I was fine. Now im having these shaking fits in my sleep almost like a seizure. Its so weird and its worrying me. Im starting to think my house is maby haunted or spirits are trying to take my soul when im sleeping. Ive had feelings of fear before its happened, im so confused. Could this be a disorder or is it spirits? Im thinking its demons. Thank god I havent had another episode of sleep paralysis though.
