http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome
Exploding head syndrome is a condition that causes the sufferer to occasionally experience a tremendously loud noise as originating from within his or her own head, usually described as the sound of an explosion, roar, waves crashing against rocks, loud voices or screams, a ringing noise, or the sound of an electrical short circuit (buzzing).
This noise usually occurs within an hour or two of falling asleep, but is not necessarily the result of a dream and can happen while awake as well[1]. Perceived as extremely loud, the sound is usually not accompanied by pain. Attacks appear to change in number over time, with several attacks occurring in a space of days or weeks followed by months of remission. Sufferers often feel a sense of fear and anxiety after an attack, accompanied by elevated heart rate. Attacks are also often accompanied by perceived flashes of light (when perceived on their own, known as a "visual sleep start") or difficulty in breathing. The condition is also known as "auditory sleep starts." It is not thought to be dangerous[1], although it is sometimes distressing to experience.
Anyone had this?

this all the time, am i going to die
also sleep paralysis if thats what you are talking about that can be terrifying but now so used to it that another part of my brain can tell me its not real and not to panic /struggle to wake up, so not quite as bad as it used to be for me, the electrical and the internal light stuff happens all the time
I once woke up after a really strange dream and as I was lying there thinking about it, a 'force' started pulling me towards the bottom of the bed. Then my legs were lifted up into the air and the rest of my body followed, so that I was floating in the middle of the bedroom. Then the 'force' started to swing me around in my bedroom, and just as I thought I was going to smash into the wall, I woke up.
The first awakening was actually a false awakening and I was only dreaming that I had woken up. Strange but true.

the most memerable ones for me were having hundrers of rats eating me on the bed desperate panic to wake up but virtually impossible to force yourself awake, simular thing with vultures pecking at me and many times people breaking into my hourse so certain its real when i actuaaly do force myself to wake i will check the house and garden as i am sure it is happening, the weirdest one ever was i was listening to the radio and the conversation was between 2 russians who were talking about scientific stuff such as rockets and weapons i understood everything they were saying even though i don't speak russian of understand rocket science, when i finally woke up the radio was not on, i still think it was amazing to this day as i am convinced during the episode i was a russian scientist myself, it is so real when you are experiencing it
didn't know the name, but i have experienced the phenomenon.
