Hey, y'all! My name is Eden. I'm new here. My question isn't about lucid dreaming per se, but I thought someone on here might be able to help me out. Ever since I was young, I've had this experience in my dreams where I see or sense a scary entity, then I feel this really intense, unbearable vibrating or tickling in my chest area, sometimes accompaied by a levitating sensation. Then I usually wake up right away. It's the closest thing to pain I've ever experienced in a dream. It literally feels like I'm being thrown around by some unseen force. The feeling is very disturbing because it feels much more real than anything else I've experienced in a dream. I usually realize I'm dreaming at some point in time during this experience.
I thought this sounded kind of like sleep paralysis, but it always happens within the context of a dream right before I wake up, never when I'm awake, and I've never been paralyzed when I've woken up. It might help to mention that I have a history of sleepwalking/talking. Let me know what you think!
