the mega twitch
I put this in my other thread, but I think it is a separate question all together.
I have a new problem when trying to WILD in that when I get to sleep paralysis and try to slip in to a dream, instead of fully going to sleep, my whole body just jolts and throws me awake again....my friends have had this problem too, sometimes when not even trying to lucid dream, but they dont get it often...
We call it the mega twitch because it feels like your whole body kind of spazzes at once, has anyone else had this problem? and how did you get around it. It happens nearly every time I transfer from sleep paralysis to half dreaming....
thanks!

Mine aren't usually falling. The last one I remember, I was almost in a dream. I was on the road near a lake I live by and I got on a large rock and lost my footing.

I usually wake up to those in a cold sweat. But yea, I have no idea how to get around them. They rarely happen to me, but the days that they do; they happen like 5 times a night.

A night?

If you're waking in a cold sweat from a suddenly terrifying dream then...I imagine that's a nightmare?

so there is no real way of avoiding them? I suppose I will get them less as my mind gets use to this sleep paralysis...Thanks for input though
