Sometimes I wake up but "not fully."  I feel paralized for the most part.  What is this?

It's called sleep paralysis.

Depends, but there's a stage of 1/2 asleep where if I get woken from, I get this shaky, pulsating surging feeling that I sometimes can't shake for hours!

Oh wow, I get that all the time. Usually it is because you haven't had enough sleep, or because you are too tired. We do this out of protection, but it can be a very scary thing.

I don't know what causes it, but you're not alone if it helps you at all. Sometimes it's all too much and I just want to sit in the corner and stare at my feet. There's no particualr reason, sometimes there's a good reason for feeling happy and I just can't do it. I think we all have dark days/ weeks/ months, and sometimes it takes for someone to reach out and say everything will be ok. \nSO this is me, a complete stranger, saying chin up, everything will be ok. And don't listen to people when they say think positive, it just makes it worse. \n\nSmile, it makes people wonder what you're up to \n:P

well I don't know what to tell you but I feel your pain, if I don't set an alarm I can sleep all day and the only way I wake up is if I have to use the bathroom, hey that gives me an idea, before you go to bed drink a ltr of water!  \nI could ask a doc about this though, probably can help you more then a bunch of morons on the net lol

I'm no stranger to this problem...\n\nIt feels like you are walking around in a fog, like nothing is truely "real" as you would normally feel it.  You feel like you could pass out at any second but at the same time you can force yourself to go on for quite a while without doing so.  It really takes a lot out of you and takes a lot to recover from.  You'll need quite a few good solid nights of sleep to completely get over it.

I too have had my lady parts take a nap. . .definitely a strange feeling but everything seems to wake up nicely if I get up and move around. Usually only happens if I am sitting too long.  I personally don't worry about it, though it is usually a bit inconvenient (and funny too).

during rem [rapid eye movement] sleep your brains nuerological transmissions are greater then when your awake,simpley put,it was / is an unresolved issue that your brain is trying to remedy!you have also been through a rather stressfull situation,moving quickley,etc.you could either contact him to get closure,or write down how you feel and answer your thoughts to yourself in writing,this may seem weird however this will help your active rem brain find resoulution with this matter! im from tennessee,i hope this helps you!!!

Your subconcious is trying to tell you something.  Is there something in your life that you feel is holding you back?  It could be affecting your sleep.\n\nIt also sounds like night terrors.  Most abduction stories are really night terrors.  They occur when the body wakes up from REM sleep too fast and your body hasn't had the chance to reactivate.

yeah, this sounds like you have a problem.  Maybe you aren't a breakfast person?  Maybe you have a medical condition?

It may be sleep paralysis or sleep apnea, I've had it on numerous occasions and it may be VERY VERY scary but your best bet is to stay calm and ask your doctor for possible medication to lessen the chances of it happening. Also it could possibly be solved by sleeping on your stomache.. just read below...I hope this helps and feel free to do your own search on it, it'll help alot...\n\nThe research identified some similar patterns that transcribed repeatedly in most of the participants who were involved in the sleep paralysis disorder. \n\nTrying to move any parts of the body but unable to create any mobility. \nTrying to speak or callout someone for help but no words come out from the lips. \nThe feeling of someone or something is present in the room. \nA sensation of floating or flying as the "soul" temporarily left the physical body. \nHearing unusual sounds, sometimes loud or ringing. \nFeeling a vibrating or tingling sensations, numbness on areas where the whole body is resting. \nSeeing ones own body from a certain distance. \nUnusual odors. \nExperiencing moving up and down rapidly like the sensation in an elevator. \nIllusion of sitting up or walking around the room. \nFeeling of falling, spinning or turning rapidly. \nFeeling of being strangled. \nSensation of being physically touched. \nSleeping on the right or left side of your body. \nA weight pressing down, a person or creature sitting on ones chest

I don't know but this has happened to me quite a few times. The weird thing is sometimes I have a dream with in a dream with in a dream. I keep trying to wake up, but I just wake up with in the dream. It can be pretty scary. When I finally am able to wake myself up, it feels like I'm zapping myself and like physically breaking through space/time in the dream. I try to sit up in my dream when this happens and sometimes this works to wake up. But it feels as if I am like resuscitating myself. Very odd. This doesn't happen as often as it used to, and when it did, I was going through some stressful times in life. Maybe it has to do with stress? It's hard to say.
