For how long you are experiencing this?
Does it appear every night and whenever you lay down?
Is this shaking more like spinning sensation (the external environment seems to continually rotate) or rushing sensation (the ground appears to suddenly rush upwards)?
Have you noticed that darkened room aggravates this experience?

well the first time I remember it happening was about 2-3 yrs ago. Its really not a spinning or rushing. It literally feels like a train is going by my house and causes my bed to shake. thats the only way i can describe it. theres also a really light humming in my ear. Its right before I fall asleep, so im not fully awake, but im also definetly not asleep. I remember what im thinking while its happening and I can stop it by sitting up. Most nights i sleep through it. But some nights it prevents me from sleeping for hours. It just continually happens everytime I start to get comfortable. Sometimes I just grab my leg to see if its actually moving or if its all in my head but I can never tell. I've been trying to look up things online but all i keep getting is things on paranormal activity (which it is definetly not) so im all out of ideas.

I have the same thing happen to me. I tryed looking it up but couldnt find anything so i gave up. Idk what it is, just thought i would post to let you know your not alone lol. Maybe what we should do is have some one in the bed and when we fill it start to shake ask if its really shaking.. It could be our body shaking, or it could be in our mind. but atleast we would know if it was real or not. Sorry i couldnt help to much, have a great Turkey day!

Is this coming always between sleep and waking period?
Are you experiencing fear, awareness of a "presence," chest or back pressure, and an inability to breathe at that moment?

there are some theories about "leaving the body" when falling asleep...or out of body experiences...try looking up some of those ideas. Ive heard that your whole body can shake..but without physically shaking (odd i know). Its up to you whether or not you believe in it though.
They are ancient ideas mainly posted as "new age" even though its not new. Its just resurfacing.

This has happend to me too while my husband was lying next to me sound asleep. We were on holiday and staying at my parents house at the coast. Funny thing was is that the rocking woke me up. I became fully wide awake but the bed carried on shaking, so I sat up. It still carried on shaking so I lied down again. Wierd very weird. I didnt really feel a presence or anything like that and wasn't even very frightend. After a couple of minutes it stoped and didnt happen again during my stay. When I told my husband he said that I must have dreamt it as he didn't feel anything. However afterwards I found out that the same thing happend to my sister in law and a friend who had also slept in the same bed.
All I can say is that there are many weird and unexplained things which happen all the time, and that we have to just except them for being just that. If you try to dwell on certain situations you could go insaine.

i experience the same thing almost each night. since my not alone in my bed, i've been told its my body shaking, really bad, like as if i would have a one second long seizure. it also awakes me most times but i can fall back to sleep. in my case when im really close to falling asleep, i dream that im walking on a high building or such and then i fall and that falling is actually when the shaking happens.

i never really wondered what or why this is happening..

also, as for the out of body experience explanations, its said that is the moment when u start the experience, when u leave the body. also, its said most people have out of body experiences each night, they just don't remember them. so nothing to worry about, i guess.

I have been experiencing the same thing for about a month now. Every night when I go to sleep it feels like the bed is shaking. At first, I thought the earth was having tremors, but I'm starting to think it is just me. I wake my husband up and ask him if he feels it and he doesn't. What should we do?

I woke up for the third or 4th night in due to my bed shaking. This time it was the

most intense. Believe me or don't I couldn't care less. My fascenation and concern

for this is growing because because it's happened more then twice during various days

over the span of a week now.
This shaking, and a female voice (I can't understand her, but she calls out for

something). I can't understand what shes saying because her same voice is speaking

softly, yelling out, and uttering phrases about many things at the exact same time.

Like playback of mixed emotions all played at once. This lasted about 5 mins, and

stops when I get up from the bed.
I believed I may be going insane, but this only really happens late at night (once in

the morning I experienced no shaking but I heard her well defined voice). Nobody else

was in the house and everything was off. This was the only time I "heard voices," I

don't walk around all day hearing and I don't belive myself to be crazy like

that. The shaking was subtle the first few nights (felt like someone standing on the

end pushing it with a knee or something), but tonight 4/17/09 I awoke at 1:11am to

the loud banging of the four metal bed posts on the wood floor.
I could see the room consciously and literally believed someone was under the bed, I

heard a loud buzzing at this same time. The shaking and the noise lasted around

minute; my body never felt the way it did during this experience (the strange

tingeling) . The loudness of the buzzing, and the fact that I was wide awake and

could hear, see, and feel, that I was still; but the bed I was on, was not. It took

me a bit for the fear to subside before I could move through the dark and complete

silence to flip on a light.
This began when It became difficult to care about anything.
I recently became extremely depressed. Probably more depressed then I can ever

remember being, I've been walking without fear and feeling nothing.Perhaps this new

feeling is triggering something? It could be anything...
I don't know what this thing is thats provoked me to wake up at 1:11am, research

"shaking beds" online, and write this until 3am, but its the first strong feeling

I've experienced in a while and I liked it.
I want to facilitate communication and learn how to dive deeper into this.

I've had this from time to time. feels like a mild earthquake that goes on for ages.... depression also. Very interesting indeed... Please keep updating your progress

This has been happening to me for almost 2 years now. It happens while in bed or just relaxing while watching TV. It happens when I am fully awake or when I am about to fall asleep. I've gotten out of the bed and tried laying flat on the ground (House is on a slab) and still felt it. My girlfriend gets worried because she doesn't feel anything when I ask her about it. I'm not a religious person and I quickly discard "spiritual activity".

My day-to-day symptoms for the past 2 years (23 - Male):
- Extreme Fatigue (All day, every day -- my biggest complaint)
- Headaches (Everyday starting 1-4pm)
- The rough shaking experience while laying still
- Sometimes I feel like I am rocking back and forth to the pace of my pulse but am not actually moving
- Dry Eyes (diagnosed as episcleritis -- left eye)
- Random Chest Pains (followed by tingling left elbow)
- Vertigo (the best way I can describe it -- this is relatively new)
- Constantly thirsty
- Very sensitive to temperature change.

I'm not the hypochondriac type. I've been to the doctor a total of 7 times my entire life. This includes one recent visit regarding all of these symptoms that resulted in the doctor saying to get more rest. This does not include the eye doctor visit regarding the swollen and dry eyes. I'm not on any medications, do not use drugs, don't smoke, drink occasionally, and don't have any major known allergies. This is my first time writing out everything that I've been experiencing over the past couple of years and hope I can get some feedback.

Thanks,

I have been experiencing the same thing over the last few years. I find that if I am very tired and unable to sleep it is worse. I'm not sure if I am really asleep or awake, although my eyes are open and sometimes I am sat up or kneeling on the bed trying to figure out what is going on. It really feels like an earth quake but i know it isn't one. Last night I heard a loud noise in my head almost like the sound a radio makes as its tuning in. I heard a man's voice and the white noise type of sound you get as a radio tunes in. It was really strange and my eyes were open, but was I asleep?
I'm sure it's some kind of sleep disorder, I'm not worried but think it's strange.

I had a similar experience when I was about 11 years old. In my experince there was a loud buzzing noise and extreme skaking of my bed as if someone were under it . I could'nt scream or oven open my eyes for at least 2 minutes, and then when I did open my eyes everything just stopped as if nothing had ever happened.

Thank the lord this isn't just me.
I don't know if anyones religous or not, but i notice it more when the energy and tension is up in my house.
When I pray hard and ask god, it eases but it never goes away fully. It does seem to come on when I'm about to go to sleep and just relaxing. It is incredibly disconcerting, and it feels like the beds shaking or rocking like somebodies beneath it.

It reminds me of nightmares where young children complain of monsters beneath the bed.

Nobodies alone in this. I'm a very sane person.

this happens to me when i am watching tv and even has happened to me standing up having a conversation with someone, i know its nothing spiritual or paranormal, but i dont know what it is...i dont think it has happened to me going to sleep though, but i really want to know what it is

I have had this most of my life and I never had the courage to discuss this with anyone close to me. I don't know if it is something paranormal, extraterestrial, psychological, medical or what but it happens. In my case it only happens at night right before bedtime and doesn't last very long. I am always very much awake when it happens. and it doesn't happen to me every night, but randomly. I can't explain it. I always think of the exorcist movie when it happens but I don't really believe it is paranormal I don't feel a sinister presence. Maybe it is something psychological because now I sleep on a mattress on the floor and it hasn't happened since I have started sleeping this way.IDK just glad I am not alone. Hope to find the answer to this mystery someday

This same problem has either kept me from sleeping entirely or limited me to just a few hours of sporadic sleep nightly for about 2 weeks. I was only feeling it just as I was falling asleep but now as I am typing I feel it as well. I have a fairly soft mattress, so I can understand how a body twitch could cause a ripple effect with the springs, but I can't explain why I feel it sitting down. I wonder if it has anything to do with constricted blood vessels. If I didn't find this page, I would have thought I was completely nuts.

anyone think that sometimes it's a lucid dream and we only think we are awake when this happens?

it used to happen to me a lot as a kid, with the buzzing/humming noise too, and i also used to have lucid dreams on a regular basis before i knew about them.
