Thread: Is constant leg shaking in sleep paralysis normal?

Whenever I manage to get into sleep paralysis my legs begin to shake uncontrollably every moment, as well as spasming every now and then, is this normal? Thank you.

Happens to me sometimes..... usually it means (that's for me at least) that my leg/something else was lying in a weird/uncomfortable position

Yeah it is probably normal. Many times when I am just trying to sleep normally I get jolted awake by a small leg twitch. However, if you read my first post you see that my attempt at dream recall resulted in pretty weird twitches in my legs and my shoulders. I was pretty nervous and scared of what was happening and had to stop it.

Hey there and welcome to the forum!!

Yeah, it is normal. It usually happens whenever I am about to enter it before my body starts vibrating. It is so cool! Then I enter SP.
If you have any questions refering to LDing, feel free to ask!

SP... *cringe*
*pukes*
SP Bad.

Yes that is regular to happen during sleep paralysis, and the fear is normally there too your first few times, just tell yourself that it will be alright, and be 100% confident in it. It could lead to a LD, or astral projection if possible.

No Way!
The Best LDs I've had were induced through SP... Oh well, to each his own

What is your problem? SP is the best thing to happen since the insomnia spell struck!

Like he said, you should use it to go into a WILD. Don't be afraid of it! Just face it head on, and no matter what happens, you should be fine (whether you wake up, WILD, or maybe you might have an FAish scenerio where you read an open book you left on the counter, which is cool as well)

I have been inducing SP lately, in order to try out OBEs. I'm getting used to them.

Okay, at least you are facing up to your fears.

Why not try a WILD while you are at it? They can be very fun!

Thank you all for of the replies, I'm glad to hear that this is normal. I was worried that maybe I had some sort of neurological disorder or something. It was rather distracting when I was trying to attempt a WILD.
