Has this happened to anyone else? I've experienced various types of sleep paralysis and REM atonia before, but nothing like this. This happened in the middle of a dream. I was dreaming that I was laying on my bed, going to sleep. I must have lost awareness for a while, as next thing I knew I was bombarded with these sensations, located right around the diaphragm area. It seemed like they had been going on for a while without me being aware of it. A certain muscle right around that area was expanding and contracting at an alarming rate, probably something around 20-30 times per second, it's hard to say! Breathing was semi-painful/annoying because of it, and it was hard to relax. I didn't really try to escape it, so it's hard to say if it was sleep paralysis for sure or what. Whenever I find myself in sleep paralysis or the vibration stage of a WILD I tend to try to relax as much as possible in hopes of it leading me to a deeper dream state. |

It's possible you have a strained muscle in that area that was spasming. 20 - 30 times per second sounds pretty insane, but since you were dreaming at the time you might have imagined it being a lot faster than it really was. Heh - or maybe somebody was messing with you, tapping gently on your chest - maybe your cat or dog was doing it? Pretty hard to say. |

Hahah yeah I'm not too worried about it, I know nothings wrong or anything like that. I just wanted to get to the bottom of it! I'm sure since that voice told me I go through this every night, it must just be a normal thing our bodies do when going to sleep. Why I never noticed it before during the countless other SP episodes, I don't know. |

I can't recall ever having muscle spasms that translated into a dream but I've definitely noticed that when you get relaxed in bed is when spasms are most likely to occur. And I have had spasms of the diaphragm - it feels really weird! Not quite 20 - 30 times a second, but maybe 2 or 3. |

What do you guys think these voices are then? Our subconscious? Spirit guides? A higher power? I refuse to believe it's all just random nonsense, well most of the time at least. Often times voices or DCs will reveal information to me that was otherwise unknown to me, such as me going through these contractions every night. Just makes you think, ya know? |
