Mine happens day and night. I'll be sitting in a chair and it feels like the floor is vibrating only I'm the only one who can feel it. At night it starts in my legs and works its way up to my neck. It's scary when it's in the chest area. Sure wish somebody had an answer. Seems like I'm always going to the doctor for stuff they can't figure out. I also have a severe pain in my upper abdomen...my right side. They tell me there's nothing there, removed my gall bladder and it's still hurting. When I bend over it feels like something getting shoved under my rib cage and it actually gets stuck and I can't move. But...they (and I've gone to several doctors) say...nothing there. SO...if I tell them my body is vibrating they'll probably commit me!

Boy I am sure glad to see I am not the only one. With so many people here on this site with the same symptoms I wonder if there is a way for us to collect data and maybe find additional commonalities in an effort to find the cause. Well I would think for sure it has to be connected to the nervous system and I would guess the autonomic nerveous system thats controled by the subconscious as opposed to the central nerveous system where we conciously operate. Automomic system controls breathing, heart beat etc that we do not consciously control and since this happens without our assistence I think this is the source of vibration. Does anyone here meditate? Has anyone had a supernatural experience recently? Alot is changing right now in the world and with the collective conscious so wonder if there is a connection there. We know that all physicality is made up of pure energy and is vibratory so wonder if we are some how at a subconscious level picking up on a larger source of vibration from the One source. Just thinking out load here but the medical industry hasnt a clue.

I may be slightly biased with my response, but I am speaking from experience in my practice as a chiropractor. Although chiropractors do not treat these types of symptoms specifically, they help to restore normal function to your nervous system. When this happens a persons body tends to fix itself and these strange symptoms disappear.
This type of treatment is very safe and effective. Hope this helps.

First of all, let me say that I am so thankful that I stumbled upon this website. I now know that I am not alone, that I am not the only one experiencing these bizarre vibration sensations.

Things, for me, actually began many years ago. I woke up in the middle of the night and could not move my limbs. I tried screaming out to my husband for help but was unable to even speak. I imagine this was sleep paralysis.

More recently, for the past year or so, I will wake up in the middle of the night to find my chest vibrating (usually on the right side). Buzz, pause, buzz, pause. It will continue to do so until I physically get up out of bed. There is no pain whatsoever, just the buzzing/vibrating sensation. My heartrate seems pretty normal throughout the whole experience.

I have also started to experience the vibration sensation in my eyeballs. Laugh, I know this sounds completely crazy but it's true. Again, it only happens upon waking. I will be lying there in bed with my eyes closed and it will feel like my eyes are vibrating very quickly within my eye sockets. The moment I open my eyes, the sensation is gone.

These episodes don't happen every night but they do seem to be getting more frequent (three times a week maybe). I never have the chest vibrations and eye vibrations on the same night - it's usually one or the other. After these episodes, I usually have a hard time getting going in the morning. I wake up feeling rather odd, sometimes a tad lightheaded and sometimes with a very mild, dull headache. After about an hour or so, I begin to feel quite a bit better.

As a side note, I am a side sleeper.

I know that I don't have MS or a brain tumor as I've had two CAT Scans and an MRI. I've also had two or three EKG's and both showed normal heart function. The only confirmed medical conditions that I have are hypothyroidism and a wheat/gluten sensitivity.

I will continue to monitor this thread to see if any of you make some headway with this. I will post if I find out anything further.

Best of luck to you all.

I've read about these internal vibrations on many different internet sites and I have yet to see a good explanation from a medical doctor -- so I'm guessing nobody really knows what causes it, and I'm also guessing it's not life threatening.

I'm 50, so I think menopause is a factor with my vibrations, which mostly happen at night. They wake me up, and it's a really unpleasant feeling as it's centered in my chest and it feels as if it's related to my heart, although like many people here my heartrate is separate. Things that seem to make this worse for me -- going to bed really late (being extra tired), eating close to bed time (especially chocolate!), drinking wine at dinner time. The vibrations can last for a couple of hours or even all night, when I must wake 20 or 30 times, and I also tend to feel thirsty when it's happening. Sometimes the vibrations go away completely, for days or weeks at a time. Sometimes they are every night, and these are the times I come to dread going to bed. Mostly they are in my chest/torso, but I've also had them in my legs and feet. This all started a year ago now, when a fast heart rate came out of nowhere, and I was diagnosed with benign tachycardia. I no longer drink caffeinated drinks, or coffee, which I think helps. I also take fish oil and calcium/magnesium, no idea if these help or not. I am really, really, hoping that I won't have to live with this for the rest of my life ... I'm holding out hope that it's a menopause symptom that will lessen with time! We'll see.

Best wishes, and condolences,to everyone who has to deal with this unpleasant symptom!

Great to read about other's experiences, but disappointing that there is no real explanation.

I started experiencing this about 3 years ago. When it started intially, I experienced 2 different types of sensations - one was a low grade vibration in the middle of the night - almost like a rumbling. The second sensation is hard to describe, but it was like a "wave of energy" passing through me. When I first happened I was a bit freaked out, not just because I had never expereinced it before, but because the weird thing was - my dogs started barking in the middle of the night while this was happening, something that they dont normally do....

More recently I have experienced only the vibration sensation. Sometimes during the day (mild) but mostly at night. It literally is like I am on a vibrating bed. Two nights ago, it was the worst ever - I woke up with intense vibration of my whole body.

For the record, I am a physician, and dont have an answer as to the cause. Something neurologic most likely. I had a very questionable diagnosis of Lyme in the past, and I have come up with other Lyme patients with this symptom in web searches. As part of my workup I had brain MRI which was normal.

So sorry, I dont have any answers either....A list of coexisting medical problems, current and past medications used might be an interesting place to start looking for a common link...

I am not a believer in the supernatural/paranormal explanations...but for those that are, I will disclose that the night I had the worst vibrations (2 nights ago), my mother was visiting with a psychic medium (John Edwards type)in regards to my father who passed away 3 years ago..make what you want of that....

Hi all, I was just talking to my wife about the vibration,It's not happening to everyone but some of us I believe it's our body getting in tune with the universe.
Everything vibrates even though we can't feel it some of us are more in tune then others I've experience Astros Projection, and it's nothing to fear we are just evolving I think we all should take meditation and open our minds to other things beside what we can see in front of our eyes.

I left comments on another site at ehealthforum this morning, but this site here covers some people who are asleep and mostly vibrating, while the contributers to the other site were awake, and shaking in various ways. This morning, for the first time, my husband informed me that around four or five A. M. I start vibrating the bed. That will last a few seconds, then stop. Then in 30 seconds to one minute, it starts up again. I asked how long it keeps up. He said he didn't know, because he's trying to get back to sleep! This must have been going on for at least a month and a half. Before that, I was sleeping on a couch in another state (U. S. state, not state of mind)while taking care of family. I had sleep paralysis once in the past and some having-one-violent-jerk-while- falling-asleep, and "falling back onto the bed after dreaming" type stuff, as well as a lucid dream or so, but this all happened years ago. I'm 74 now, and have lost weight and am becoming a little tottery (seeing Dr.). As I put in my earlier post, wonder what's shakin'?

My case it is very similar to the situation the user "ice468" described. This do not happen to me often, but when it happens... I just feel I am kind of falling or moving around myself ("flying"), at first its feel nice, but later it get worse. I start to "fly" without control, it always feel like someone is trying to guide me to someplace I don't want to go. And then I feel panic and want to wake up, but can't.
Maybe this is a mind problem, or something. I hope someone can tell me if this can be resolved.

Apparently, my vibrating seems to be related to sugar. If I don't have anything with refined white sugar in it during the day and especially at night, I don't have these symptoms. The natural sugar in fruit and fresh squeezed juice doesn't trigger it; just white refined sugar.

Now I know if I have some cookies or brownies, etc., I'm going to pay the price for it with interrupted sleep and electrical-like sensations. If I'm wiling to pay that price, I will have the treat. No sugar=no problems.

Now if I can just quit craving wedding cakes and Oreos I'll sleep just fine!

I experienced this last night and a few other times myself. I have a few spinal injuries and just yesterday I had some sort of weird attack where my arms and head started tingling (almost a fuzzy feeling), I got dizzy and my heart beat was pounding...but there was no sweat and I do not have any heart conditions. Very strange few days for me.

I do want to add that I have seen a chiropractor and he has had to realign my lower, mid and neck parts of my spine. He did warn that when realigning the body will try to fight it or react in strange ways.

I too have this problem and have been experiencing this, its very starnge all of a sudden I wake up and feeel that my bed is vibrating, it started a couple of years ago, I am in another country now and even there I felt it once, its totally weird.

This has been so incredibly helpful. However, I'm not asleep when I start vibrating. It's usually when I suffering from insomnia. It is at the full moon and it feels like the bed is vibrating...maybe it's 6th sense...I just know I take comfort in not being the only one. I live in New York so I thought it was the subway but I was in Fire Island...no trains below ground there. I don't see any recent posts but it anyone comes up with anything...

Thanks!

I thought I was nuts until I found this site. I always put my phone on vibrate and carry in pocket. Numerous times I thought it was my phone only to discover it wasn't even on me. My vibrations are in various body locations. Doesn't seem associated with sleep

Okay, thought I was going nuts here. I vibrate every night, mostly when laying, right before sleep or upon waking. When I give a hearty stretch of my Torso, arms and legs, it disappears. I too am a side sleeper and this started about 2 months ago. Thought I was dying or something!

Unfortuantely for me, my bed really does shake when I sleep though. I live next to a freeway overpass and when a semi-truck goes by the whole house vibrates. I had wondered if that caused this nuerologic issue. But I am a realist, this is not supernaturally caused. Thanks for everyone's posts.

I shake too, in the morning, just before waking up. But my head vibrates. It starts off slowly and builds in intensity and the sound is like a rumble that grows and becomes unbearable. I call them my Rumble dreams. I've
been having them for 3 or 4 years. The rumbles feel like
energy waves. I also levitate in my dreams. I experience dreams where I know I'm dreaming and I holler for my daughter to come and feel my head. I dream that
she comes in and feels me vibrating and I levitate. Of
course, she never really comes in because I'm still dreaming.

I've discovered now that I can make the rumbling come at
will. I told my daughter to get up a half hour early and
come and feel my head. That morning I intentionally made
the rumbling begin, but my daughter didn't get up in time. We're going to try again tomorrow. I mostly want
her to make sure I am breathing and that it is not a symptom of sleep apnea.

Thank you all for your posts. I've been scared to death
since the vibrations are in my head, (I can feel my brain rattling!!) I'm afraid of losing brain cells, but
I don't feel any dumber the last few years!!

Vibrating Body: 1 explanation. Gases and/or food are building up inside your intestine that are unable to escape. Adverse reactions to colonscopy WILL CAUSE THIS when the person who does this -- by forcing air or other substances up through your anus. The pressure will change the tension smooth muscle; it will all displace organs. It puts outward pressure on your rib cage and spine.

Evey morning for the past 6 weeks Ive been experiencing my bed shaking as well as body vibrations. People here should check out the posts under "Bed Shaking"
Here's the link -
ehealthforum.com/health/bed-shaking-at-nig ht-t136404.html

My bed moves more than I vibrate but I definatley get both and some more severe than others. I never meditate ever, tried it once to elviate depression, it worked amzingly well and now this starts to happen.

Im still unsure if its angels, weird cosmic energy or some odd physical disorder Ive developed but I can say for certain that I have been absolutley awake when this has happened!

I do this almost every night along with sleep paralysis which is terrifying.I'm so grateful I'm not alone but I'm sorry for you all for i know the worry it brings. If I'm not vibrating that night you can bet I'm asleep but I'm completely aware of everything. Its like I'm in a different world. I dream of myself laying in bed sleeping I can see my husband and all. and I can hear everything around me but cant move. very uncomfortable feeling. I have know idea whats going on. I feel crazy at times because of this, and it feels good to talk about it.

I have had this vibration feeling at night when going to sleep, off and on for about three weeks or so now. It happens mostly when I'm laying on my left side. Mostly I feel it in my torso, but sometimes in my legs too. The last couple of days I have felt it sitting in my chair during the day too, although not as pronounced. The feeling is like the kind of residual vibration one feels after operating strongly vibrating machinery. Like a powerful lawnmower or a motorbike. I would imagine that people operating jackhammers must get this sensation quite often.

I have no idea what causes it, but I have been able to control it with meridian therapy, also known as energy tapping, or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). I just do a couple of rounds of quick tapping on my acupuncture meridians and I am vibration free for the rest of the night. I also tap for insomnia when I need to. Less and less lately. This meridian tapping technique is very simple to learn and use and it works great. Anybody can learn it and there is a free manual online that tells you how. Just Google "Gary Craig" and "EFT" and the first site that comes up has the free manual - no strings attached. (Gary Craig is the founder of EFT.) That site also has scads of testimonials from people who use the technique for various conditions. Very, very interesting.

Hope this helps you all. It's definitely helping me.
