Energy Feeling While I'm Asleep

[Lovely Stacy]

Hello my name is Stacy and every since I was around 14 years
years old I have had these experiences while I am believed to be
fully asleep. The best way for me to describe it is ENERGY
because thats exactly what it feels like. The energy goes throughout
my body. The 1st time it happened to me it REALLY freaked me
out! During the experiences I try so hard to make myself wake up
but it's so hard and it's kinda like I have to push or force myself
to wake up and once I do wake I HAVE to keep my eyes open
for like a minute because if I just automatically close my eyes I
will once again feel that energy. I am now 26 years old and still
don't have the answers of what this is or why it happens. It
doesn't happen all the time but when it does it is very uncomfortable.
It doesn't hurt, it is just uncomfortable. I told myself one day that
the next time it happens to not try to make myself wake up so I
could see what happens (if anything) but the next time it happened
I did last longer in it but couldn't handle it for too long, it freaked
me out way too bad! About 2 or 3 weeks ago I was dreaming that
I was sitting on the floor and my recently deceased aunt was sitting
on the couch, I knew in my dream that I was dreaming because I
knew that she had died recently. In my dream I told her I love you but
I know your dead. the next thing I remember is seeing myself asleep
on the floor but I knew that in reality I was in my bed because I
remember going there, (so once again I knew I was dreaming) I began
to feel that energy and as always it freaked me out! In my dream I
began praying, at that moment it felt as if my body was being pulled
up, (and of course that freaked me out even more) but as I felt like
I was being pulled I seen my boyfriend laying in the bed, I grabbed
ahold of his arm and pulled myself down, as if I had used him to
pull myself back into my body, then I woke but I woke a little
confused as to where I was because I used him to pull myself down
which would of had me on my stomach with my head to the left but
woke on my stomach with my head to the right and it took me a few
seconds to realize that I was in my bedroom but facing the opposite
direction from what I was in my dream. I need to know if there is a name
for the experiences I encounter, exactly what is it, if anyone else has
ever had these experiences, and why it happens to me? If anyone could
could help me out with this I would really appriciate it!

A few things:
First of all, breaking down your post into paragraphs would make it easier to read.

Next:
The energy feelings you describe sound a lot like vibrations.  The sensations can be varied, I suggest you run a seach for Magickist's post about vibrations, it's pretty comprehensive.  It may be in the techs section, I'm not sure.  If not, use the 'Search' Tab, which is more effective than the one on the right side.

Vibes are sensations perceived as one is going through perception changes- usually when leaving or reentering the body.  You can AP from a dream, and this (IMO) sounds like it's what happened to you- you were in a 'personal space' having a dream about your recently deceased aunt, and were given the opportunity to visit her where she is.  Since the deceased (according to things I've read, but it makes sense to me) are not able to visit you in your personal space, you are allowed to see them when they are in a transitional state, and it's what you subconsciously wanted to do, so you started to leave your dream body in order to 'see' your aunt.  Chances are you succeeded, even if you don't remember doing it.  Consciousness is funny that way.
