I get a weird form of sleep paralysis multiple times a night/early morning

I don't know what the hell this is, but at least two or three times each night I will "wake up" and realize I cannot open my eyes or move my head, but can move my legs, arms, and make noises. In this state, I can literally feel my head vibrating and spinning so fast and intensely that I feel like my head is going to explode.
I am aware of what sleep paralysis is, but this seems like something different. It happened to me multiple times this early morning when I was still drifting in and out of sleep.
ETA: the spinning and vibrating is purely a sensation. Like in the mind, not the actual head

Try to focus on something you want to dream about.. drop back into sleep... and control that shite. 
Could be awesome.

It's probably the shitty football team he follows making him go spastic.

I get sleep paralysis a few times a year. HAve for as long as I can remember. This doesn't sound like it.
Just hope that you never get "the visitor". Most terrifying thing Ive ever experienced. Will ruin your sleep for a good week afterwards

Maybe it's a spooky ghost

Go get checked out before you have a stoke.

It's coming for you

Make sure you are sleeping at a slight incline. It makes the condition virtually go away. Wiggling your toes only helps keep you calm. It only lasts 30 seconds or less which feels like forever. Count it down.

I'm a lucid dreamer, which allows me to manipulate my dreams pretty effectively. I've been that way since childhood, but apparently you can be trained in it as well. It's a gift.
