Avatar f tn I'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 m tn Your symptoms could be due to sleep paralysis. Disorders related to dreaming could occur with REM sleep behavior disorders. Here the person acts out the dreams. Your symptoms of seeing things could also be due to sleep disorders “Nightmare” or "Night terror" disorders . Here the person experiences symptoms of bad, frightening dreams which interfere with his sleep schedules.

Avatar m tn It'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).
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 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 n tn a lot of people try very, very hard to learn how to be able to think and control your body in your own dream in order to "lucid dream". if you are able to do that, usually your mind has the power to do anything you want: - you could beam yourself to a paradise location - you could fly away - make out with your favourite celebrity those are the most common and first lucid dreams.
Avatar f tn There are two main types of scary phenomenons in sleep(nightmare and sleep paralysis) that are caused by two main scary symptoms of cardiovascular disease {palpitation and fainting (syncope)}.
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!
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.
2143567 tn?1342539031 Here the person experiences symptoms of bad, frightening dreams which interfere with his sleep schedules. 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 it persists or is troublesome consult your doctor for assessment. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn ok, so I found out this is called sleep paralysis. Nothing to worry about, here's some info if you have/had these problems I did:) http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar f tn I have never had a single full night's sleep in my entire life as far as I'm aware. Maybe, when I was unaware, as a child, but I don't know for certain. I still remember having interrupted sleep when I was a baby. I also have very poor memory, extremely vivid and realistic dreams (often nightmares), exceptional dream recall, regular sleep paralysis (sometimes several times in a week), lots of lucid dreaming and learning difficulties.
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 You sleep in cycles light sleep, rem stage is the dreaming stage. 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.
Avatar m tn For me it typically happens when I am in a deep sleep and the dream turns into a lucid one. Lucid dreams are like being conscious in your sleep. It is hard when it is a nightmare but great when it is a good dream. Last night I had a stressful nightmare and I woke this morning on the edge and panicky.
Avatar f tn That said, you may find some helpful tools in the methodology used to deal with Lucid Dreaming. Read book by Stephen LaBarge (not sure on the last name, google Lucid Dreaming, you'll get a lot of on line stuff and into to the PhD at Standford who leads that subject there.
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 Any ideas would be helpful as it is terrifying and I am trapped in my dreams able to hear and see the world around me, but the dream continues. I think it might have to do with the Pons being directly in front of my cerebellum which is already too large for my head and any swelling or increased signals crossing from the Pons to the Cerebellum could cause pressure on my cerebellum and spinal cord causing the pain. it's to the point I am afraid to fall asleep.

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.
568812 tn?1379165794 Like my mom said, I used to get it and be really frightened of it. But at some point I started looking up on the internet, found out about sleep paralysis and read up whatever articles I could find. The ones I found most reassuring where the articles that had a scientific/medical base and left out the supernatural element. Also I learned the parlysis part is natural when the body gets into REM mode. What isn't quite natural is that you are awake durring that REM stage.
5621933 tn?1371092794 First off, the ability to lucid dream is something people have to work at. Remembering your dreams in great detail is also something people have to work at. I have trained myself to do these things by keeping a dream journal and suggesting it to myself, its not something that came naturally. I like being able to control my dreams. It sounds like what youre complaining about is more about restless sleep and dreams that tend to disturb your sleep.
Avatar n tn A more modern approach to dealing is dreams is called Lucid Dreaming, another way to take charge of what one dreams about and either modifying or forcing a wake-up.
Avatar m tn ve been having lucid dreams (while dreaming I become fully aware that I am dreaming) but upon becoming lucid in my dreams I can feel my head hurting from forcing myself to stay asleep. I can also feel my sleeping body at first in bed during my lucid state. I was wondering how I could calm myself down when I realize I'm dreaming?
Avatar f tn t sound rude but do you (or anyone else) know approximately how much it would cost to go to a sleep specialist to get tested?
1305767 tn?1361192676 But we can also dream just as we are about to wake. Lucid dreams. Or just as we are about to fall asleep. They are the dreams that seems so real. Because we are not fully asleep. We tend to remember those types of dreams most of all. Your problem is not something to worry over. Do a poll and I bet so many others won't be able to remember their dreams. It is common to forget them.
