Thread: what does transitioning into a dream feel like?

So when your imagining someone talking to you, do you imagine what there saying or just picture them in the room.

I usually imagine myself walking outside my house at night, but it has had different outcomes. One time the dream started with me actually walking outside my house. Another time I was kinda dragged INTO my house, looking out a window and everything like started spinning and then settled down, then I had a FA but I knew I was dreaming.

Well, i'm not sure, usually when I wake up just after a dream i'm in a half dream-like state anyway, so the most important thing is that you are very familiar with the sound of their voice. I don't usually control what they say or pay attention to what I imagine they're saying, it's more to do with making it sound real in my head.

oh ok then thanks alot

I've felt a variety of things. Sometimes it has felt like falling. Sometimes it has felt like I was 'shrinking' inside myself. Sometimes I get the feeling that I am hearing/feeling an intense lowish frequency vibration that gets 'louder' until it crescendos and then abruptly stops. Once it stops I'm in a total black silence and I know the transition is complete. Sometimes though, I feel nothing at all and these are obviously the hardest to recognize that I am actually dreaming.
