Does anyone get a swaying rocking sensation while they sleep?

I'm just getting over bppv but even before, I would sometimes feel as though I was rocking or swaying in my sleep.

Is this an anxiety symptom?

Hi. I was getting that same feeling while sleeping. It would be so strong that i felt like a huge jolt and i would wake up gasping for air. Everytime i looked up the symptoms it would bring up anxiety. So i believe it is.

I had positional vertigo which was cured with the Epley Maneuver but I have developed this derealization thing. It's like I'm disconnected and dizzy at the same time. It only happens when I think about it. I was having a good time on vacation when my mother in law brought up her friend who suffers from vertigo and last night I had a night of swaying in my sleep. Could the brain be this powerful?
