Reply #25: Yep. After the Landers/Big Bear and Northridge quakes. Not aftershocks. [View All]

I was having terrible emotional troubles anyway, and then those huge earthquakes hit, 18 months apart (I think).

I was awakened for MONTHS by aftershocks -- but it wasn't aftershocks. But I woke because my bed was shaking. It was either this phenomenon you describe, or it was my heart pounding from terror. I must've been having dreams of aftershocks. I'd bolt upright and turn on the light, terrified there'd been another aftershock. I'd turn on the TV to get the latest reports, but no report would come on. This went on for months.

Good luck, skypilot. :hi:
