Hi
i hope someone can help me out on
this...
This has happened twice in two weeks...
I am sleeping and having a bad bad
nightmare and suddenly my head starts
shaking uncontrollably real bad (approx 40
sec) its like when saying no but very
fast. Im aware of this but I can't seem
to wake up. Then when I finally wake up
my heart's punding very fast and it stays
that way for like 10 minutes. I'm
worried because some time ago I
experienced having sleep paralysis, it was
so weird I swear I could see myself
sleeping and some other messed up things.
Does anybody know about that issue
(shaking head) :s my family even thinks
i'm crazy. Who can help me out, I mean
like a doctor? A psychologist?
Thanks

Hey. I think I have the same thing. It
is very weird and i've been wondering
about it for a while. For me, I seem to
be able to go from dream to dream very
conciously while my head is "shaking". I
also don't really think it's shaking, it's
more like in the dream it shakes really
bad. I've been having this for about a
year now and it has become much more
frequent. Especially when taking naps
during the day. How old are you if you
don't mind me asking. I'm 18 and would
definaltly like to talk to anyone with
this same thing.

Hi
well, finally a reply
its good to know im not crazy lol jk. Im
17. Lately, I haven't experienced them
but still I am concerned. What I have
been getting are those episodes where I
can't wake up but I can still see and hear
everything around me (except that I can't
move or speak) theyre kinda frustrating.
I also checked out that webpage and i'm
definitely doing more research on that,
thnx.
Hey, both of u, do u have msn messenger?
So that way we can im each other?

Hey, I left you a private message with my
sn in it. Feel free to im me any time.
And darksky, I don't really think the
shaking experience is actually happening,
at first it seemed like that to me, but
reading your other posts I think what 11
girl and I have something
different...Maybe not but thats what it
seems like. I also have those experience
where I feel I can't move, its all a very
strange thing. Hope to hear from you
guys soon.

Hey 11_girl_11
my email and sn aren't the same, my email
is vanmeurs@bc.
Edu, sorry bout that. Also I found
this post that seems similar to what i'm
feeling except that now I am no longer
scared and seem to be concious of what is
happening and don't get the fear and
faster pulse as I did when it started.I
was curious about a number of strange
experiences
that I experienced while I was in
half-sleep state.
It is always the same, and it happened to
me a few times and it is not very
frequent.
Last time it happened it was in the middle
of the night..
I was dreaming (don't remember what), and
suddenly my heart starts pounding, and I
start experiencing intense fear,
and my ear-drums start shaking creating a
strange very low frequency effect.
Both the hear beats, the buzz in the ears
and the fear
are getting stronger and stronger until I
wake up rapidly as if I had a nightmare.
The strange thing is that the fear I
experience is not caused by anything I
dreamed or anything that I can think of,
it is just as if my body starts producing
hormones that cause fear for no reason.
The whole thing lasts for about few
seconds.
And it is never a result of a bad dream or
anything.
I'll describe one incident here:
i remember that one time I was dreaming
that I was on my knees and I was lowering
my head slowly to the ground as if I am
falling to sleep. As my head was closer
to the ground
the more my heart was beating, and the
panic and fear grew, and the buzz in the
ears was stronger.
One time it happened while I was falling
to sleep (on the limit of being in the
sleep state) and was not dreaming
anything. That time I was sort of trapped
in this ear buzz state and was trying to
wake up but it was like a seizure.
The buzz in the ears, is more a shaky
feeling than an actual sound, it is as if
someone puts a finger in my ears and
starts shaking fast. The feeling is not
compleatly negative, it almost feels like
scratching when you heave an ich (i hope
this is the right word, my english is not
very good)
but the whole experience is very negative,
and the feelings
of panic and fear are very intense.
Sometimes when it happens in the middle of
the night it leaves me very uncofortable
even after it happened and I am awake.

You may be right, I don't seem to have any
of those symptoms ralph. No scary
feelings or loud buzzing noise. Just
kinda jerking in my sleep like i'm having
a bad dream or a seizure or something (but
its not a seizure). Its not restless leg
syndrome because its not my legs that
jerk... I should video tape myself at
night to see. I'll have to create a yahoo
name or aol name when I get home. The sys
admin won't allow us to put it on work
computers 
btw, i've only ever felt like I couldn't
move but was totally aware once - I was
about 19. I must have been halfway asleep
but aware of my surroundings. It was
intense! At first, had all these exciting
scary feelings and I heard a girl call my
name and I think I saw some light but I
couldn't move at all. I just sat there in
bed. Weird..

Does anybody have an answer? I'm worried
that they may be seizures? I'd been
googling for a while and some sites even
say it could be anxiety or ptsd?!

Well,
sleep control is a common thing, many
times I know I am in a dream and try to do
stuffs like flying etc. There are times
when I know I am in a bad dream and the
most common thing I do is shake my head
hard in order to try to wake up.
Dun worry, I dun think it should be
anything bad. I kinda enjoy it at times.
But it can be quite scary at times knowing
that you are in a bad dream.

Uncontrolable Head Shaking

Hi im having a very random and frightning
problem. Sometimes when I go to sleep I
wake up in the night to my head is shaking
back and forth as if im trying to say no.
It does it for up to a minute or so after
I waken up and I cant stop it unless I try
really hard to relax. If I try to stop it
sometimes it does it more. It happened
last night and ive been feeling dizzy all
day. I have been drinking plenty of water
and trying to eat well to see if that
helps. Does anyone have any suggestions?
:?

Wow, so it is true that you can like be
awake and aware of your dreams. I saw
this site and was really wondering if it
was real. Maybe if you can really learn
how to control your dreams the head
shaking will stop and you won't be
worried. The site is http://www.Lucid-dreaming-kit.
Com
cool

It left as quick as it came. Last night I
didnt have any problems with my head doing
the shaking thing. Hopefully it stays
normal now. Possible causes for it seemed
to have been dehyration, lack of a certein
element or solution, or it may be related
to me leaving the bathroom light on and
trying to be nice and cozy. :lol:

I have a very similar problem. I have
very bad sleep paralysis (up to 8 times a
month) and sleep apnea. I usually start
shaking uncontrollably (not just my head
but my entire body) and wake up instantly.
The problem is that this is exactly like
sleep paralysis for me. I am awake but I
am spasmating uncontrollably unable to
stop shaking and then it just goes away
after a few seconds. This also occurs
while I am trying to go to sleep. Of all
of this the strangest thing is the dreams
that I have before it happens. It is just
like a normal dream and then something
very strange happens. Last time it was
that somebody that I was talking to just
moved from where he was to the other side
of the room instantly. Then my heart
starts beating so fast that it hurts and I
wake up shaking uncontrollably. I have
spent hours of researching sleep paralysis
and found absolutely nothing on
uncontrollably shaking and I am just as
stumped as you are.

i've had the same problem joshua! I'm
only 17 and it just started recently,
happening quite often really. Just like
joshua said i'll be having a normal dream
everythings ok, then I turn around and see
a shadow, to me its the shadow of the
devil, and I can feel my heartbeat go up
rapidly, and my body shaking nonstop, then
all the sudden I wake up.. I told my mom
about this and she said its because im not
going to church.. Which is probably
true. So i'm going to start going agian
and see what happens. It started
happening recently. Maybe because of the
change of my sleep patterns, because when
it started it was the night I went to bad
at like 9:30 because I worked out and was
extremetly exhausted. Usually I go to
bed at 12:30-2:30 on school nights and
wake up at 7:30.. So that could be the
problem thats probably why I had it agian
the next day, because I went to bed at
like 2:30 and had the episode approx 4
hours into the sleep. Really not sure
what it is, I just try to deal with it,
but lately I havent been getting any
sleep, and its really bothering me..
Seeing the devil in my sleep is very
disturbing, after I wake up i'm terrified
by my surrondings, and had to get my mom
to fall asleep with me.. Very horrible
experience
