restless legs
Hi Morris— You are absolutely right. Millions of sufferers are waiting for an answer. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 25% of adults report Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) feelings in their legs (crawly or tingling sensations) a few nights a month or more; 15% a few nights a week or more; and 8% every night […]
phantom of the night
I have had this bizarre dream three to four times per night for the last two nights. In the dream I am asleep in my bed when someone or something evil enters the room with malicious intent. I am still asleep in the dream and am attempting to awaken to protect myself. I sense in […]
can’t hit
I’m usually good at analyzing my own dreams, but I just can’t figure this one out. I think it might have something to do with my temper. I don’t usually get mad, but when I do, it takes a lot to hold me back. Whenever I dream about being angry, I usually am mad at […]
haunted by a ghost!
Background information: I have been married 2 times. My ex is deceased. In my dream there usually is a male figure, always in black and dull white, that enters my bedroom, who either sits down on the side of the bed or gets in bed behind me. Then he pushes so hard on my back […]
REM paralysis
I am a 47-year-old female. Over the past 5 years or so I have had many dreams where I feel like someone is in the room with me. One dream it was like a ghost standing by the bed. On several occasions it feels like someone is on my bed. It is this overwhelming feeling […]
can’t move
I love to dream, but I have this recurring dream that happens right when I am about to wake up. My dream is that I am conscious and I am too heavy or tired to move. I am aware that I am waking up, but I can’t wake up because I can’t move. When I […]
need my REM!
I have been having disturbing re-occuring dreams and want to know what is going on with my body during them. They always happen during the day while taking a nap, and always while sleeping on a couch. I am always sleeping by myself and am usually needing sleep when they occur. The setting of the […]
can’t wake up
About myself: I go out clubbing every weekend with friends, have a stable job, and live on my own. The dream I have been having recently is a little bit scary. I have been asleep, and consciously I know I want to wake up out of this dream, but I can’t. I feel myself shouting […]
paralyzed
I have dreams where I know that I am dreaming but am unable to awaken myself. I must be somewhat conscious because I know whether there is someone in the room with me. If there is someone in the room, I yell very loudly in my dream hoping I will really yell—so the person will […]
intruder?
Have you ever been in that place somewhere between sleep and consciousness—where you can’t move, even though you’re trying to wake yourself up? I often times hear things, like someone opening my bedroom door, but I can’t wake myself up to see what’s going on. Yesterday morning I saw this shadow coming toward my bed […]
stuck in the position
My two oldest daughters (in their teens) and I have a problem that we jokingly call “Stuck in the Position.” We are sleeping, or just dozing off and we suddenly find ourselves in a very uncomfortable position. We struggle to move anything on our bodies, a finger or even an eyelid, but we can’t. I […]
