When I get SP, and I get it a lot, I find that the first thing you notice is that your limbs get gradually heavier, it’s almost like something’s pushing you down. I’ve never experienced any vibrating or buzzing, but my heart beat tends to speed up and anxiety starts to creep over me, I get the intense feeling that there is something else in the room with me and often hear sounds, mostly jumbled voices where none or very few of the words are audible, or sometimes very loud bangs that sound like someone hitting metal underwater, these are hypnogogic sounds (hypnapompic if you’re coming out of sleep) Also you may experience hypnic jerks, which are the most likely thing to startle you out of the state, thats the feeling that you suddenly get of a fall or an impact.
After that I get the visuals kicking in (mine tend to be people looking over my bed or reaching out towards me, which is freaky) and from there on in you just have to go with the flow but try to remember that it’s a dream.
Sorry, didn’t mean to go on for so long!
