Feeling like a kick in the back

    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this. Sometimes when I'm lying down on my side, I feel a sudden, powerful force propel into my back or hip. The only way I can describe it is like a strong kick, except it doesn't cause any pain. It's strong enough to move my body though :confused: Its definitely not sleep paralysis. It has happened me every so often for the last 10 years and I've always wondered what it could be??

    If it's just as you're dropping off to sleep it could well be Hypnagogic jerk. Is it accompanied by a falling sensation at all?

    No, it happens when I'm wide awake usually. The first time it happened I was lying down reading a book and it gave me an awful fright :) I do get the falling sensation when I'm going to sleep but that's totally different. I often wondered if maybe its som sort of spasm but I can't find any information on it...

    I'd say check it out with a doctor. If it's a muscle spasm you don't want to ignore it lest it get worse. My nanny always said to look after your back and your feet, because without them you're bunched.

    It may be Kundalini.It can move and go dormant again especially after meditation,psychoactive drugs and even orgasms:Dits going through me at the moment and its quiet amazing but not easy:(

    I was a perfect-backed teenager when it started but alas; no longer :( (due to an accident not an underlying problem) The sensation has never changed though. It used to scare the bejaysus out of me :eek: The first time it happened, I was in a fairly spooky and reportedly haunted house and I was told afterwards that people had been kicked out of bed in that room before. I suppose that's why I was always half torn between thinking it was paranormal and thinking it was.... well.... normal! :D
