One of the worst pregnancy symptoms for sure.. I have nightmares often, but i usually end up experiencing "sleep paralysis". It's so scary i dont wanna sleep, and so i turn the light on and pray that the bad dreams stop.. then i end up falling asleep again. I heard eating before you sleep can cause nightmares btw. Not sure if it's true.
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.

I have not experienced it but I understand that the human body goes into a paralysis when the mind goes to sleep. This protects us from the body reacting to something happening in a dream. I further understand some of us can wake up while still inn the paralyzed state. This should pass quickly to the fully conscious sate and control of our body.
If you are having problems with nightmares the approach I used at an age younger than you are now is I trained myself to wake up.
For the past week, my son has been suffering from sleep paralysis. I don’t know if this is normal but having to deal with it for how many days is not normal anymore.

I had an rta 16 years ago, my head went through the sunroof and was dragged along the carriageway. I am 35 now and remember about 5% of my life. I suffer from sleep paralysis and night sweats which have been getting worse over the last 5 years. My doctor (after trying hypno) prescribed amitriptilyne (10mg a day).
This worked for the first two months but is now wearing off.
Is this ever accompanied by nightmares? It sounds like sleep paralysis, maybe combined with a panic attack. I have severe panic disorder, and also suffer from "trapped wind" quite a bit. I think the anxiety somehow causes me to swallow too much air. GasX works for that pretty well, but as for the other, there is also something called hypnagogic hallucinations which you may want to read up on.

there is this weird thing that happens when i try sleep. if i have to fall asleep well after i was supposed to, i have what i would like to call a concentration of energy if you will on the side that i am lying on at the time. between my rib cage and my hip bone. when that happens, my whole body basically goes paralyzed and it takes an enormous amount of energy for me to move just one finger or limb to get myself out of that "state".
