Has this ever happened to you/do you know why this happened to me?!


Question: Has this ever happened to you/do you know why this happened to me!?
Just as i fall asleep, i am sort of dreaming, but awake at the same time!.!.i can picture these stone steps and as i put my right foot on the step everything collapses, i only see grey, it feels as if i'm falling forward and i can feel the g force in my stomach too!.
As this happens what happens in my dream, happens in reality too, so as my right foot (in my dream) is about to go onto the step, my right foot (in reality) goes up and forward!. Then, when i fall my leg drops, my whole body shivers/shakes and then i automatically wake up!.

So i am sort of dreaming and conscious at the same time as i know my foot goes up and i shiver/shake!. I'm 14 and this has happened to me about 5 times in the last two years!.

Thanks, and no i am not lying!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes don't worry this is called a "Hypnic Jerk"!. It is quite common and feels like you are falling just as you are going to sleep!. I think this is where the expression "falling asleep" comes from in fact!. It apparently happens more often if you are especially tired or stressed though!.

I am not sure if the stone steps have any significance - when it happens to me I am usually falling of a cliff! I guess everyone's dream for the falling bit is different!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It happens a lot!.

Motion is sensed in a dream and the body reacts!.

It will happen less frequently if you start to control your dreams!.

How can you control your dreams!.

First, start a dream log for recording your dreams!. Keep the log next to your bed!.

Next, think about what you would like to dream about as you enter the theta brain wave chain, the point at which you are half way between being awake and being asleep!. It takes practice!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is called a Hypnic jerk and is really common!. alot of people get this when they are in the process of falling asleep!. My partner does it every single night!. (several times actually)

As for the precise scenario of the dream and what it means!.!. Only you can really answer that!.

This happens to me all the time!.!.!.in fact, last night it happened!. I was walking in my dream and there were these wires on the ground and my foot got caught up on one of them!. I jerked my foot and felt like I was falling and then I jumped and woke up!. Happens all the time!.

It's pretty normal, I think!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

This sort of thing has happened to me too!. I dreamt that I was shot in the chest, and I felt it and it woke me up, but it didn't hurt!. It's probably nothing, but if it is then you're not alone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
