Vibrations in dream, leads to waking (lengthy)
Hi guys. I know there are many people out there who seem to be into lucid dreams and what not, but I have come here to attempt to get answers. Really, I'd just like to know why the following occurs to me.
Since I was about 8 (I am now 19), I have had a very interesting sensation in my dreams that lead to waking. The sensation does not occur in just any dream, though, but only through "nightmares" or eerie dreams. I'll give you two examples:
The first time I ever experienced the sensation (which I will get to shortly) was during a frightening dream that I had when I was around 8 years old. I was in the garage of my house, and my cousin was standing on the outside. It was summer time, and there was apparently a party going on at my house in the backyard. I think I was in the garage getting juice or something. Suddenly, the entire dream took on a blue tint, like the tint that they used to use to indicate night time in old silent films. It didn't seem to bother me and my cousin, it was as if we didn't notice. Then, a very deep, mellow, harsh vibration began to overtake the air. It sounded sort of like a bombing siren or something. The interesting thing about it is that I literally felt the vibrations overtake my body created from this noise. It was so powerful that I began to panic in the dream, as did my cousin. The garage began to close, and my cousin desperately tried to get me to leave the garage. He didn't dare come in...it closed, and I woke up. The vibrating feeling did not end when I awoke, though. I felt paralyzed, and my entire body tingled with the deep humming slowly fading from my ears. I finally returned to normal. Scared, I told my parents.
Several times a year since that first dream, I experience such nightmarish sensations. One more quick example was when I was 14 or 15. I was in a grass field with absolutely nobody around. I noticed that I stepped on a 4x6 picture of a bunny rabbit in the exact grass field that I was standing in. Upon close inspection of the picture, I saw an orb in the top right corner. My eyes focused on it, and the picture, with the world around me, began to twirl and twirl into the rabbit. As the twirling got faster, vibrations began, and the intensity was immense. I then woke up, with the same sensation as described above...noises, tingling, and all.
To this very day, I still experience such feelings after having frightening dreams. The feelings are exactly the same, and sometimes they are more intense than others. When I am alone sometimes, I randomly start thinking about the feelings, and I create it within my body. I can do it on command. I start to feel my brain narrow, my skin chill, my ears ring, my arms tingle, and the vibrations begin. I can never, however, seem to bring myself to the state that I feel when I am awoken from a dream. I do not do this intentionally really...as a matter of fact, I hate when I start thinking about it. I am unsure of why I can do it on command, and it really scares me when I do it. I just feel like I...need to do it, when I start thinking about them. I think that when I recall the feelings, my body illicits a fear response and it just so happens to feel similar to the dream feelings. As I typed this very post, my body "vibrated" in and out of the sensation as I recalled the past dreams.
I really do not like the sensation of the vibrations. Frankly, it is one of the most horrifying feelings I have ever felt. When I awake from such an instance, I have to get up and turn the lights on. The noise is the most frightening...that deep, mellow vibration in my ears. The tingling/vibration of my body is the least of my worries when I wake, but that vibration in my ears (that bombing siren) is what makes me cower and beg my body to awake from the vibrating paralysis.
What is this? Thanks for reading.
