Avatar f tn What you are experiencing is called sleep paralysis and hypnogogic hallucinations. Sleep paralysis happens when you start to wake out of a dream but your brain wakes up while your body is still paralyzed (during REM or dream sleep you are paralyzed so you wont hurt yourself acting out your dreams). The hypnogogic hallucinations are related. Do you have panic attacks or narcolepsy by any chance? My doctor told me both those problems make your specific sleep problems more likely.
Avatar n tn I usually like doing this as i can have vivid dreams or sometimes lucid dreams. But as I think of the dreams I lose track and sometimes see only black, and the only things I feel are me trembling alot and being unable to breath or move. I try to fight it but sometimes it gets the better of me and I can't stop the oncoming of it. Honestly, its scaring the **** out of me, but I'm wondering if this is normal and I should just stop, or I should see a doctor.
Avatar m tn It sounds like it could be sleep paralysis to me. I do that all the time. I thought it was "night terrors." I'm fully aware of everything around me, can hear and everything but can't scream out, can't move, nothing. I learned it was common with narcolepsy. You need to go see your primary care doctor and/or get a referral to a sleep specialist.
Avatar f tn m not sure we have the same understanding of vivid dreams, but I suggest you take a look at Lucid Dreaming which is about taking control of vivid dreams. There is a lot on the web on this subject. I think it is next to impossible for one to bite him/herself while sleeping, that is contrary to the accepted "fact" that we all go into a physical paralysis when asleep, to prevent that sort of thing - so we don't turn crazy dreaming into self violence.
Avatar f tn Physiological symptoms of sleep paralysis are the same with those of syncope. Thus, sleep paralysis is caused by syncope. For experts in cardiovascular diseases, sleep paralysis or syncope is a common symptoms of cardiovascular disease【1】. For a long time, due to the ignorance of physiological knowledge of syncope , ischemie cerebrale ,palpitations and so on, psychological illusion in people’s sleep generated by such physical symptoms i.e.
Avatar m tn s called sleep paralysis. It occurs when there is a miscommunication between the brain and the body during sleep. When you're in the process of trying to sleep, your body sends a message to the brain telling it that the body is ready to go to sleep so the brain can do the same. When your body enters sleep, your brain paralyzes the body during dreams (so we don't end up acting them out). Sometimes, your brain mistakenly wakes up during this time, but your body remains paralyzed.
Avatar f tn The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to an entity called sleep paralysis. When this happens in sleep the person has difficulty moving his hands or feet. This is the symptom of a sleep disorder called Narcolepsy. This sleep disorder is characterized by excessive day time sleepiness, sleep paralysis, cataplexy where the person has episodes of loss of muscle function while awake, hypnogogic hallucinations and automatic behavior.
Avatar n tn For the past couple of years, almost nightly, I awake with a start because the bed is moving in a way that I'm certain someone else has to be in the room. Tonight, it was a series of light running pressures on the bed, so I jumped out of sleep, turning on the flashlight, certain someone was trying to get in the bed. It's always the same -- no one is there, nothing can account for it.
436338 tn?1204359355 Considering you are remembering the events upon waking, you are most likely coming out of REM sleep. If you're unable to move and aware of it, it is likely an episode of SP. Sleep paralysis usuallly produces very vivid scenes that can be very life like. With me I get it in all kinds of stages. It seems to manifest itself into very lucid dreaming.
Avatar f tn While in this stage your large muscles are paralyzed so you dont act out ur dreams and hurt yourself. Sometime during ur rem sleep u may wake for a few seconds (sometimes numerous) during this "hypnopompic" stage ur brain is still dreaming and ur muscles are still paralyzed although you can see hear smell (but not scream) this also known as old hag syndrome. I personally experience a witch who sits on my chest and forces my mouth open.
Avatar f tn I take that back; I think I had an auditory hallucination last night. The same one twice. I didn't check to see if I could move or not until a few seconds later, though.
Avatar m tn That is until I started having my lucid dreams and doing more research in the sleep and dream field. Sleep paralysis is very very common during your teenage years and early 20s. If it continues after that then yes, you could have narcolepsy. However I do not believe it is anything evil.
Avatar f tn I've heard many people discuss having an Overactive mind that keeps them from falling asleep. While I have suffered from insomnia in the past, I am now able to fall asleep fairly well. The problem now is that, while I may get a sufficient amount of hours of sleep, I spend the entire night feeling completely wired. It's as if my brain is on a mission.
1544075 tn?1296026498 Maybe do a little reading about sleep paralysis and then consider having a sleep study done. Honestly, when I got of the benzodiazepines, the worst of it stopped.
Avatar m tn Disorders related to dreaming could occur with REM sleep behavior disorders. Here the person acts out the dreams. This can be assessed by a sleep questionnaire and therapy is based on the severity of symptoms. If your symptoms persist, I would advise you to discuss your symptoms with your primary care physician who may then refer you to a sleep specialist for further evaluation. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
5621933 tn?1371092794 Lucid dreaming is normal, I have the same issue, Except the only difference is that I have no trouble getting to sleep. If you're really needing the sleep you can get a prescription for sleep medication as I have done a few times. But other than that it is normal and a large group of my friends also have it.
Avatar f tn You are definitely suffering from some sleep disorder other than sleep paralysis. If you get up in middle of night, it can be also be due to sleep apnea. Loss of memory etc are due to incomplete sleep. Please consult a sleep specialist and get sleep studies done. Take care!
568812 tn?1379165794 All I knew is that it seemed so real and I would keep the lights on. I had the sleep paralysis also where I was trying to move but could not and trying to say, "Help" but the words would not come out. It was frightening. I would often recite the Lord's prayer. My daughter though has also had the paralysis in her sleep, so not sure if it is PSTD associated alone as she did not have the abusive childhood I did.
Avatar f tn I found the answer ny accident when browsing through a medical encyclopedia, it is called sleep paralysis, and is associated with Narcolepsy. Your body is entering the paralyzed state of REM sleep shortly after, or in the process of falling asleep, but your brain doesn't know you're asleep yet. This is often accompanied by vivid, frightening hallucinations, often mirroring whatever you were doing right before you fell asleep.
675347 tn?1365460645 I am so excited to find this group.. All of my life I have been a big time dreamer. I have 'lucid' dreams..I didn't know these dreams had a name until today!! I dream every single night. I also dream for it seems like, hours. Some dreams are not as intense as others but then there are the "dreams". These dreams frighten me sometimes. They range from UFO sightings to me witnessing a plane crash, and then a day or so later an actual plane will crash somewhere in the U.S.
983679 tn?1276833336 If you are able to go to sleep concious, you will experience Lucid Dreaming. This type of dreaming is the most satisfying because you will remember every detail like if you woke up inside. Usually there is a big release of enery when this experience happens. Well I hope this helps. If you have additional questions just write to me or e-mail me.
