Spastic muscles after dreaming

I have always had dreams about getting stabbed in the
back, ever since I was very young.**One of them was
recurring, that I was a musketeer and a bad guy cuts my
sword in half, kicks me to the ground, and then stabs me in
the back.**Every single time, my back spazzes and wakes
me up, and even after my eyes are open, my back muscles
will still twinge, and I can't control it.

The same thing happens when I dream of bugs.**I will wake
up with a crawling feeling on my neck, and i can't relax for
at least 3 full minutes because the muscles will twinge even
after i'm fully awake.

It's unpleasant and uncomfortable...
Has this happened to anyone else?*

Wow Ashlie thats different. Im going to be honest with you. I've never heard of that before. That's gotta be annoying. Im amazed and kinda shocked at the same time. I like hearing of things that I've never experienced myself. I wish I had a way to help ya out. But maybe its because you're still thinking about that last dream, perhaps if you focused on something else then maybe the feelings wouldn't linger on for so long after you have awaken.

I've had something similar. I would stare at my leg, and it would physically pulsate in front of me (in real life), and stop just as soon as it had started.

Whoa thats strange. I only get muscle twitches when I try a WILD, but something as weird as that, :shock:

Sonds a bit like when I dreamed of being hit by a car.
Woke up real sudden with about what felt like 7/8ths of a hart attack going on :o

Hmm I get twitching sometimes of the muscles, but nothing as serious as that.

Were these very vivid dreams?

I know that your eyes are generally moving in your dreams, actually following the actions that are taking place. The objective of sleep paralisis is for you body to not do the same.

If the feeling was just too vivid, your body must have just though it was real and acted towards it as well....

"I thought it wasn't real"
"Your mind makes it real"

Sorry, couldn't help myself....Go Neo!

I don't know... I think all my dreams are pretty vivid. Those particular dreams weren't exceptionally vivid, I don't think, just your run-of-the-mill vivid.

haha, maybe my mind does take my dream too seriously.

I heard about one dreamer who had an intricate dream that led up to him being beheaded, and at the end, he woke up to something coming down on his neck in real life (i forget what it was... his headboard or something?) and he thought that his mind created the entire dream in the instant that it came down on his neck.

I thought that maybe my back would have spazzed anyway, and that my mind made up a dream for it, but i don't really think so.

Just a thought to ponder, i guess.

hmm, yeah my eye twitches every so often after I have an intense dream, not hard, and nobody can notice it, but if feels wierd.


My brother had a dream that he was fighting an army of badgers, and one of them jumped onto him and he grabbed it and threw it. But while he threw it he woke up and actually threw the cat at the wall :P.


* No cats were hurt in the making of this post*

Somewhat a tangent, but I have a physical disablilty (not a huge one mind) in real life. When I am lucid, I am free of this. Indeed, in real life, I could be termed a 'spastic', but in the land of nod, I am quite the opposite!
