You are like 99% about to go to sleep, as calm as can be, lying in bed and you imagine yourself getting shot or slipping on ice or something, and your whole body spontaneously reacts to it? I usually have the thought where I'm slipping on ice, and my leg like jerks, it's really weird, kind of like you're having a dream, but you're not having a dream. Maybe it's some kind of horrible repressed memory of when I got shot and then slipped on ice. I haven't had this happen in a while, though.

This is a weird thread, but I'm just wondering.

It's not that weird, I get the same thing. Usually it's me falling and hitting the ground or something. My leg will jerk as well, I guess it's just the nervous system acting strangely. I've heard of it happening before.

Yeah that has happened to me, but not the slipping on ice part. I don't really remember what happens in mine.

I think the other night I had a dream my cat was biting my toe and I felt pain on my foot. Almost as if my cat was really doing it.

Not really, but sometimes if I'm ust drifting off I'll perform an action in my dream in real life, usually kick my leg out or something.

Yup. I always laugh. I wake up terrified/shocked and realise nothing is happening and I find it funny.

If I ever fall in a dream, whether I fall of a cliff or trip on a sidewalk, I always wakeup in a similar fashion to what the TC described.

Yeah I get it sometimes. I also have times when I feel like I'm dissipating into nothing, and will like "pull" myself out of it. I'm positive it's just me about to fall asleep, but my mind is still active. Lucid sleep? lol.

Theres a couple stages of sleep, its like drowsy, then you get into a form of half sleep, where your still awake but your mind and body is shutting down, many go through it, sometimes you can see things happening and people talking to you but you can't respond because your just so tired.

It's when you're passing from your second to third stage of sleep and your body sends an electrical pulse through your body, because you stop breathing. I think it's called hypnic myclonia

I've gotten that 'falling' thing before. It feels like I've just been tossed off something really high up...then I spring up and realize I'm laying down. It's a crazy feeling.

yeah i do it almost nightly, and ive jumped out of bed before and hit my head on the corner of my nightstand.

and recently ive been having this strange thing happen where im 99 percent asleep and uncontrolably talk(not a lot, usually its either a grunt or a moan, or ill say something like "yeah" or "oh") before i actually go to sleep. Its really weird though, no matter how hard i try not to do it, i still do it.

I usually miss a step on the staircase (like when you walk down two steps when you arent paying attention) when on flat ground. Or I fall out of bed while laying still.

I get that too. I ussualy picture myself falling when it happens. I also get it really bad right after I go snowboarding. I keep seeing and thinking the tail of my board is sliding out... I hate that. It takes me forever to get to sleep after snowboarding.

Ah, the random leg jerk, yeah it happens. Sometimes it'll wake me up and I'll be like "What?! My leg just woke me up." Odd stuff.

I know what you're talking about. But for me its falling. Like falling out of bed so I react as if I'm about to hit the floor, but in fact I'm in the center of my bed.

Same here, the one I hate the most is when you feel like you're falling but when you wake up you're just in bed.

yeah its quite comman

what happens is that when the nerve endings on the bottom of your feet aren' t touching anything ( blanket or bed sheet or w/e) they send signals to your brain, your brain is in a highly suggestive state and makes up a situation of falling, slipping and with me it is mostly tripping over a tree root and your nervous system reacts sending a jolt through your body.

don't have a link this is only hear/say sounds plausible though

I experienced that when I had a dream about dodgeball. The ball was thrown at me and I reacted in real life.
