Very weird sleep disorder...like sleep paralysis but worse?

It is like I am in a half awake half sleep mode and it always happens in the first few seconds I fall asleep. During this I experience very vivid lucid dreams. I am aware of being asleep but the dreams are so realistic but different, with dark undertones of fear and panic.I will get a very strange feeling over my entire body, like a numbness. I feel a pulsating in my head and very loud ringing in my ears. It intensifies until I am fully awakened. Then as I try to get back to sleep it keeps happening a few more times, some more intense, others less intense. I thought maybe I was having some type of seizure activity but I'm not sure. there is this intense oscillation in my head (kind of like spinning or pulsating, real weird). I becomed more panicked because I can't move and I get a lot of irrational thoughts even though I know i'm sleeping.

Any suggestions of what this is? Has anyone else felt this?

I have a roxy habit. I take one or two 30mg pills a day. (Oxycodone)

Try talking to your doctor about this can be a brain issue eg lack of blood circulation or something ..

ive had it happened to me a couple times. i think there is a medical term for it though.

where your mind is awake but your body is asleep. your aware that your awake but you just cant move... one thing i try doing is just moving my big toe. as funny as it sounds, it helps me snap out of it. but sometimes when it does happen to me im to sleepy that i just drift back to sleep.

but its not unheard of so dont worry. u can always go to a doctor to get yourself checked out

i have never experienced this, however my mum does.
she gets it alot, and she hates it, what you've described is exactly how she describes it. She has never found out what it is either :/
i kno this isnt exactly help but, i just thought you should kno you arnt alone lol :) xxx

Are you on any medication? I got something very similar on SSRIs, but it stopped when I came off them.

Edit - it could be due to the meds then, like it was in my case, but def get it checked out.

years ago I had similar episodes I felt like my mind was awake but my body paralyzed.Go to a neurologist for a complete examination to rest your mind

I've had something similar. I would wake up in the mornings like normal, but instead of getting up i'd drift back asleep (as so many people do!) but it was weird my mind would be active but my body would be asleep, so completely paralyzed.

I don't believe i was dreaming, i had a conscious state of mind and i kept thinking i need to try and move my arms or legs.

It's difficult to explain but was extremely terrifying. I think it occurredd becuase whenever i'd wake up i'd keep thinking don't go to sleep again! Over and over until i got trapped in a weird state of semi-consciousness!?

Anyway it stopped after while.

If you worried inform somebody and perhaps get it checked out.
