My annoying method...it's very sneaky.

[Leon]

Usually at night, I lay in bed, not wanting to go to sleep yet, so I keep my mind awake, by thinking random things, as my body sort of drops off. But then I get an image that I think about and cling to, to keep from falling asleep. It starts out as just something that I threw into my mind, but then the image of me running, or say swinging, or jumping, or doing something, gets bigger. And then it sort of gets out of my control, and I end up either falling through the ground, or into water, or falling in the air. And then I get the falling sensation in my legs, but it sneaks up on me every time, and I jerk my limbs, and ruin any chances of AP for the night. I can do this any day I want...at least most nights. But still, It's happened so many times that I should know what that falling sensation is, but I still keep jerking my legs. Anyways, I wanted to know if there was any way I could maybe confirm to myself, that those falling sensations are a good feeling maybe? It'd be really nice to fix this, because the constant jerking is the only thing keeping me from AP. Thanks to all.

-Peace and Love

mabey its because your afarid of what will happen if you do fall

relax, nothing is going to happen, just keep telling yourself that it isnt really happening

Actually that's right, I everytime I do fall, I say "No, stay!" And then I jerk. Like 2 nights ago it happened again, except I didn't fall, instead, my friend shot me in the face with a squirt gun, and I pulled my head up really fast and started rubbing my face.

sounds like your body isnt fully asleep, thats happened to me before

[tracedaway]

That sounds a lot like what used to happen to me. I'd be walking down some stairs (in what I believe to be a dream) but as soon as I slip and am about to fall my legs would jerk and I'd be awake and my heart would be beating so hard it could tear a hole right through my chest.

I never knew it was linked to AP-ing though and it hasn't happened to me in a while, but I remember getting it ever since I was a kid. Any ways to fix this?

Yes, this always happens to me. My mind will be wandering, but i feel asleep, and i'll just have this weird image, and something will push me or something and it will just make my body flinch in surprize. It's just usually being pushed back by something or someone. I don't know why that is though.
