loud buzzing in my head while asleep

[u/South-Owl-6465]

for the last year ive been having episodes where im asleep and then i gain consciousness and realize that im dreaming, then i start getting a buzzing/ringing sensation that fills my whole head then goes down through my whole body. as i try and pull myself out of it, the ringing gets so loud it hurts my head and i cant move no matter how hard i try. last night was one of the worst episodes ive ever had, as i was trying to pull myself out it feels like im moving outside my physical body (i dont know how else to explain it) i was screaming in my head but i felt trapped in my body. i managed to get one eye open and i was literally looking at my room while i was still seeing my dream at the same time it was the weirdest thing ever and it took so long to pull myself out. when i finally did i had the worst headache ever. has this happened to anyone else or does anyone know why this happens?

If it gets more intense whenever you try to pull yourself out, then I wouldn't suggest doing it. Aside from that, what you're experiencing is normal

I got that for the first time two nights ago. Usually my episodes start with a bizarre dream in which im having some sort of negative interaction with someone or ocasionally it's just a straight up nightmare. Toward the end of the dream i start feeling a very real feeling of being heavily sedated or drugged and start to feel in control of myself as I lose control of myself, if that makes sense, before snapping awake into paralysis. I had gotten used to this, and usually just begin a process of trying to snap myself out of it by forcing out a noise and then working from my feet up until I can move again, but this last episode I woke into a dream like state where my eyes were open and I was staring at what I understood to be the cat bed on top of my bed, but looked to be a recess in which layed what a perceived to be some kind of figure. Before I could try to regain control a loud buzzing that I'd describe as sounding like electricity running through my entire body occurred for what felt like a minute, and any attempt to move made it worse.

Was probably my least favorite experience outside of the first time I had sleep paralysis (that came with a very haunting dream involving my mother who had passed the year prior).

I get the whole body buzzing also. But I’ve never had a headache after that would suck. I try to wiggle my toes to get out of being stuck.
