Bedquake While Awake Heard By Roommate

(Hmm… that’s an awkward sounding title!)

Around 3:30 am, I had a close call with a close encounter!

I was not able to sleep and sitting up in bed amusing myself with reading and drawing on a silly fictional story of mine when I noticed I was “buzzing” — vibrating rather obviously– and it was getting stronger. I looked over to my cat, Jazz, who looked back over at me from her spot next to my hip, apparently unconcerned. (Cats! I swear–!) I tested the walls, the window, and my bedside table from my seat in the bed and none of them were moving– they were stock still. My bed, however, was also vibrating. It did not seem to be moving with me (like I was causing it, and therefore in sync) but it was definitely moving as well as myself.

At first, I was puzzled and a bit disbelieving. I reality-tested though and all was normal– except for my shaking bed and my shaking self. As time passed (minutes at least) the vibrations got stronger. I began to think I was going to just be taken wide awake! I held up my hands and they were shaking– but it wasn’t from tremors in the classic sense. The bed began to quake as if someone was holding it and shaking it violently, and it began to feel like a real earthquake. It was crazy.

I should have reached over and grabbed my phone and let one of my abduction buddies know right then, but I was too fascinated by it all. Which was stupid and NEXT TIME I have to at least send a text or something to document events as they play out if I’m lucky enough to be so wide awake in the middle of something like that!

However, the attempt was aborted. Probably because that little light from my left eye went on and, as they can see what I see when it’s activated, and as I looked around the room (and flipped them the finger!) that, yeah– it was obvious that NOW was not the right time! ROFL!!

ANYWAY–! That would have been the end of the story, except that Cat, my roomie who sleeps under me in the day-basement, heard the thumpity thumpity thumpity of my bed against the floor (her ceiling) and she crept up the stairs to check on me. (Her stomach was bothering her, so she just happened to be awake at the right time.) I was surprised to see her peep in, but then I told her I had been awake and had a bedquake experience– and she told me she knew that because she heard it! I was thrilled to have an awake experience confirmed by a witness! (And she didn’t look scared, just concerned that I was okay.)

Of course, I suppose a person could shimmy on their bed and do something similar– I don’t think I could lift my queen-sized bed and smack it against the floor that fast and hard without injuring myself, even if I could do it, though. Cat doesn’t seem to think so– or that I would do something in the middle of the night she would normally be asleep for anyways.

I finally got to sleep around 7 am. Needless to say, I am only getting decent sleep maybe half the nights. After what seemed like a quiet week, I was beginning to wonder if this new flap period was over… looks like the answer is NO.

Despite this, I am in good spirits, and more curious than afraid. I just wish I could remember more and that my sleep wasn’t so affected!
