Feels Like Bed Is Shaking
Posted: 11-20-07 19:02pm

Sometimes right before I fall asleep it feels as though the bed is shaking. The bed is in fact not shaking but it feels this way. It has happened at numerous houses. When this happens I am awake and I know whats going on and the shaking only stops if I sit up. If i lie back down it begins almost immediately. Any ideas?

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.
