i have no idea what's going on.

basically, i've had sleep paralysis for as long as i can remember,all the usual signs,falling, someones in the room, weight on your chest etc etc. sometimes im awake in my dreams if that makes sense? like, i know im dreaming & i can control my dreams sometimes.
but over the last 6 months its been getting stronger to the point where i feel rushes in my body and head,like waves,then these extreme vibrations, i panic because of these things and i start fighting to wake myself up. i don't know what this is, its new. i had grown used to the paralysis and it didn't bother me anymore,but this does. these rushing,waves and vibration sensations only seem to happen when i sleep during the day.
i have no medical conditions, not on any medication... it scares me and i want it to go away...

Used to get sleep paralysis really bad.

Was put on 20 mg Citralipram and they are all but gone.

Have you tried strenuous exercise? I get crazy dreams where I can't move on the weekends when I don't exercise.

But during the week I wear myself out every day and sleep like a baby.

Why are you sleeping during the day?

i dont always sleep during the day, if im home early and have everything done, i'll sit down and doze off.

a reply to: Dawnek9

This has begun happening to me with extreme tingling feeling and almost like I'm being pulled out of my body, it's highly uncomfortable so I try to resist.. Some say this is the beginning of a "out of body experience" I am starting to wonder what will happen if I don't fight it and see where it goes. Perhaps you should consider doing that as well, I think a lot of this stuff is mumbo jumbo but I'm experiencing the pre stages of these so called OOBE as written previously on ATS so who knows..

Okay, I was wondering if you work night shift, another possibility is diet and exercise.

I am asking these things to clarify your activity without prying too much and to eliminate the other possibilities before backing off and letting the ATS dream crew work on it.

glad im not alone.how long has it been happening? does it happen often? i always panic and wake myself. i think i'd be too scared to leave my body, have you seen Insidious? haha... if you try it let me know

a reply to: Dawnek9

Haven't seen insidious, is it good?

It's happened twice in the past year so not often, and yes maybe giving in would be a awesome experience who knows, but the will to stop it is overpowering. It's an interesting topic for sure

I would say first of all that you really should be taking all of this to a medical professional. You would likely be sent to a sleep clinic where they would probably be able to study exactly what's happening and potentially find a solution for you.

It's highly probable that everything you have been experiencing is a known condition and probably has a treatment available too. You might not even need to have any tests done, you could find that as soon as you speak to a specialist they'll say "Oh, you have this!" and be able to reassure you or offer you the support you need.

It's also important to remember that your physical state impacts on your experiences while asleep. Your environment can play a massive role in such things, as can other physical ailments you might not know about. Even just a change in breathing can cause all kinds of bizarre things while you're asleep.

So, rather than ask a lot of strangers on a forum about conspiracy theories and things that go bump in the night, I think you would be better seeking out a professional. All you're likely to get here is guesses and bizarre theories about witches, goblins, ghosts, time slips, aliens, the NWO, Lizard People....

None of that is going to help you, only someone with professional experience in the field of sleep disorders is going to be of any use.

Wrap a new bar of soap in a towel and place it under the mattress directly beneath your feet. Seriously.

a reply to: Dawnek9 & TechniXcality

in my opinion you two have nothing to worry about.

this happened to me a lot of times and is connected with what you understand as OBE or lucid dreams. You are only feeling separation from physical to subtle body but it seems due to unbalanced energies (stress, any kind of tension.) you are having some issues.

you should learn to relax and just let it flow through you, just breath in and out naturally - focus on that.
this is what I do,
and than I have some wonderful dream and sleep.

When you will learn to do that, it should be a normal or maybe even pleasurable experience,
well it is for me now...

And it is nothing to worry about.

If you meditate, and don't like these experiences than stop,
If you don't meditate, and if you have never meditated but wandered about it, you should try it.
It could probably help to balance internal energies.

But it is time to get up with the program. This has come into your awareness for some reason. Time to consider and think out of the box a bit and leave what science says is possible behind,
if you two want to get to the bottom of it.

here is a good link about dreaming:
www.dreamyoga.com...

main point and advice from unknown wired internet guy is:
Learn to relax and let go before sleep or when it is happening

best wishes.

You're lucky. What you could do is to think of something you would really like to do and, as soon as you start feeling those sensations, recall in great detail what is was that you wanted to do and then simply focus on that thought.

If you're lucky you'll go poof - and you're off! Just don't get overwhelmed that it's happening, and again, focus on your destination.

Reading your reply has made me feel alot better, to be honest i am going through a stressful time at the moment so maybe that could be amplifying it? i find it really hard to relax and empty my head, almost impossible. im probably trying to escape my own body because my mind is sick of the worry..when you say ''This has come into your awareness for some reason. Time to consider and think out of the box a bit and leave what science says is possible behind,
if you two want to get to the bottom of it.'' it does make me curious, ive read people try and get this to happen them for years,but with me its completely effortless... maybe it is happeningfor a reason. thanks for that link though, i'll have a look..

@Unbrakable, soap? really? i'll try it haha

a reply to: Dawnek9

yea same here I didn't try this # just started happening to me.. I don't know what unbreakables on about with soap haha but yes im starting to think I should look at it as an opportunity to explore sleep states, instead of a uncomfortable panic.

the panic is horrible, if i could learn to relax (i really need to relax) maybe i could ride it out and see what happens too,but im scared, im a big baby haha. are you going to try it?
