I have been experiencing this for many years, actually it happens when I am falling asleep. Sometimes when I am in that state I know when is coming and try to resist it, then I hear this loud Buzzing sound, sounds similar to when you giggle a hose in the air quickly but it has a constant pitch to it it just seems to get lauder. once is gone, I feel this deep sense of fear because I cannot move eventhough and no matter how hard I try to it is worthless. the sound is always followed by a feeling that I am floating out of my body, and I used to try to fight it by trying to shake my head so that I can wake myself up, because I know that I am sleeping but there is stil a degree of conciousness left. What I have done lately is to relax and let it go instead of resisting it and I have to say that the experience has been much more pleasant and even enjoyable. for some reason I have been having these exeperiences very frequently in the past couple of days, to the point that I wake up and go back to sleep and the dream continues as if I would have just hit the "pause botton" and press "play" as soon as I am falling asleep.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? any insights as to what it is and why the frequency?

I've just stumbled on this site and feel compelled to give my account of whats happening to me.
I get Sleep Paralysis regularly, almost nightly with no effort, it usually happens if my hands are at an awkward angle to my arms, tucked under my chest if I'm lying on my front (it sounds uncomfortable but it isnt)
It generally starts by itself, a light wave or rush in my head that feels quite pleasant, if I think consciously about it or will it to happen then it dissappears so if I ignore it or actively think about something else then it usually continues and I do like the feeling.
The paralysis happens very soon after this, I will wake up and initially be totally paralysed, then it feels like I can move (milimeters), i cant speak or move my eyes but Im totally lucid. I haven't hallucinated (yet) but last night things were different. I was lying on my side ( i can't remember getting SP in this position) when it happened, I had a buzzing in my head, in one specific area that I have been getting pains in for a while now, the SP was similar to the ones I've had in the past.
I'm not a 'believer' in OOBE, Im open minded but I think something physical is happening here rather than ethereal. I'm going to make an appointment to see a doctor this week as Im getting a little worried about it so I'll pop back here and let you know how I get on.
Cheers

This is my first post, I found this site after doing a search for sleep paralysis. I watched a UFO show tonight and a gal was describing her "alien abduction', and the description was much like an experience I had a few months back. Although I never suspected it to be aliens, I thought I was experiencing something spiritual. On the UFO show they had a psychologist dispel her experience as sleep paralysis, so I searched for info. Then I found your post that described what I had happen to me. A loud (vivid) vibration and a tunnel-like vision. My body was rigid. After it was over I was completely relaxed. The odd part about the whole thing is that I have tried many times to get to this state with meditation and have no success, but on this particular night I was very stressed out and had trouble sleeping, so I tried to meditate, and got in this state immediately. I was not asleep when it started, or paralyzed.

In fact at that time, I was able to go in and out of the state with ease, and thought "how cool!" Now I know how to do this again, since it was so easy. But I have not been able to do it again.

I am level II Reiki, and my reiki master told me it was an out of body experience.

It feels good to know I'm not the only one experiencing any of this. I experience SP the majority of times I sleep on my back. I can feel it coming on, and when it happens my dreams usually go dark/black and take a more sinister vibe. When I feel it I either wake up or I go through the episode. It used to freak me out, but I'm used to it now. I do know, for me, that it occurs more frequently when my circadian rhythm. And speaking of vibes, I experience the humming and vibrations almost every single time.

My two cents:

I used to experience conscious sleep paralysis and vibrations a lot more than I do nowadays, so my opportunities to experiment with it scientifically are, unfortunately, rare.

I associate it with the OBE phenomenon because it's often preceeded my OBEs. Sometimes the vibrations are comforting and warm. Other times, the sensation is different and seems sinister and frightening.

I experienced the "sinister" form of the vibrations again two weeks ago. Interestingly, as it was happening, I had the distinct impression that it felt like "feedback." Feedback like you'd get if you sent an auxilliary channel to itself on an audio mixing console.

And my recognition of it being like feedback reminded me of something one of the OBE gurus mentions in one of their books. It's been years since I've read it (and at the time I'd never had experience using AUX sends on a mixing console), so I can only be vague here: the author (probably Robert Bruce, but possibly Robert Monroe) mentions an unpleasant feeling occurring when the "body double" is drifting out but lingering in close proximity to the physical body. To remedy the unpleasant feeling, he'd have to put some distance between the, well, the etheric body and the physical body. That's paraphrasing. But, come to think of it, I'm pretty sure the author does indeed describe the sensation as "feedback."

I'm inclined to think it's Robert Bruce that mentions it, although Robert Monroe was the former audio engineer.

Anyway, I don't know about you guys, but the feedback sensation during paralysis gives me the creeps, and the last thing I want to do while experiencing it is have a projection; the feeling is just too negative or "evil."

This happened to me for the first time last night. I woke up around 2:40am and couldn't go back to sleep so I stayed up for a few hours. It was around 5:30am when I got tired and decided to go to bed. Drifting to sleep thinking about how completely comfortable I was-- I was so relaxed and content I eventually when into sleep. But still aware I was laying there. All of a sudden I became aware of a buzzing noise -- I had heard this has to do with the pineal gland and that's immediately what I thought about. As I became aware of it I felt it start to vibrate. I noticed my conciousness was in a completely different location in my head and very concentrated and sensitive to simulation in the middle of my head......Strong pulses of waves of energy came up from my feet through my body to my head. I saw a white light flash infront of me and disappear...I think I shut it out. My awareness and body felt extremely light and easy to "move around", but it was not my physical body. It occured to me if I wanted to, I could move my hand and reach out of my physical hand, which scared the crap out of me so I didn't. I had never experienced this (although somehow it feels familiar) and I felt extremely vunerable-- I was not aware how to control my self in this state. I want to do this again and actually have an OOBE this time. If only I don't get so scared.
