So it has been the past few years I have
been experiencing this. There is no
pattern to it. It has happened a few
nights in a row and then most of the times
there can be days to a few weeks between
these occurrences.
I would be almost asleep in bed, kind of
in the in between state where I'm relaxing
my mind, I'm breathing slower, just your
basic process of trying to fall asleep,
and then I would feel the bed shake. Like
someone is standing at the foot of the bed
consistently nudging it with their knee.
Usually it lasts for about 1-3 minutes. I
thought maybe it was me moving, so I tried
a few things like paying so much attention
to my body laying completely still, to
holding my knees up to my chest, to
sitting up in bed. And still the bed keeps
shaking. I just can't figure out what this
could be. I'm never woken up by it, it
always happens when I'm just relaxed and
sometimes my eyes are even open when it
happens.
It's not a nice thing to experience. I
don't like this feeling, most of the times
I just close my eyes and just cuddle up
next to my husband and it eventually goes
away. It's not a jolting feeling, I live
in Alberta and we don't have earthquakes.
I have experienced sleep paralysis once,
about 6+ months ago, where I was lying in
bed and all of sudden my arms got really
tingly and heavy, and so I just continued
to move them and shake them, and then my
legs got that feeling too. It was like my
body was falling asleep before my mind
was. So after awhile of moving my arms and
legs around (luckily I didn't wake up my
husband!) eventually it passed. This has
been my one and only time experiencing
that. But this didn't even happen when I
had the bed shaking experience.
Is there any explanations for this...I'm
healthy, 5'6 125lb. I have no major health
concerns in my family history.

Bed Shaking at Night Posted: 04-09-08 21:36pm
Malibu Queen, I've had a similar
experience to your's described above most
recently.
In my case, I was fully asleep and woke up
to the bed shaking/rocking. I lifted my
upper body while still in a sleepy state
to see what the heck was going on, decided
it was significant earthquake tremors (I'm
in San Francisco), and quickly fell back
asleep while the tremors continued.
Well, I visited the USGS Earthquake
website to find no earthquake had occurred
that would cause what I felt. I am
stumped and am left to believe I caused
the bed to shake. There was no vivid
dream, no hallucination, no paranormal
activity; I was fully conscious of the
motions.
Unfortunately, my fiance was in Vancouver
at the time and could not confirm the bed
shaking. I'm just left to wonder . . . .
Do we have a serious medical condition? I
am in similar condition to you: 5'-8", 125
lbs, fairly healthy and no medical history
in the family that would relate to
anything like this. No drugs or alcohol
were taken or mixed prior to falling
asleep.
Post a reply if you've come across any
research related to the shaking, because I
think its more than a "bad aura" as Dude
Slayer has mentioned. Malibu Queen, you
should Wikipedia "aura" - its interesting
to look through the explanations and
links, but I still don't think it
coincides with the our symptoms.
