      I heard that sometimes when falling to sleep. people can feel falling sensations..

      Well a couple of times (and last night, which caused me to write about this), my mind kinda wandered off, and for whatever reason I was thinking that I was leaning on something. Then that thing broke off, and my if it was real my arm would have fallen down too. The strange thing was that even though I wasn't fully asleep (although not fully conscious, either), I was woken up because I 'felt' it falling away..

      Is that normal?

      I don&#39;t think it&#39;s in the wrong forum...

      what you&#39;re talking about is called &#39;hypnagogic jerks&#39; and they occur just as you are falling asleep and your body starts to relax.
      'all of the moments that already passed/
      try to go back and make them last.'

      As Irishcream said, thats called a Hypnic Jerk (Aka Hypnagogic Jerk). They are normal occurances, but we ussually don&#39;t remember experiencing them as they are in the transisition from wake-sleep and sleep-wake.

      I ussually experience them in the form of a dream during the transistion and wake to falling sensation.

      Yeah, a lot of them I remember exactly what my HI was about that caused it.

      I experienced a violent jerk two nights ago. I was laying there dozing off, and my imagery - I was still experiencing blackness, but I faintly saw a sidewalk, and I started to fall over toward it (I guess my subconscience placed me there as well), and I reached out of break my fall, my body entire shuttered, as if I had just hit the sidewalk. Popped me wide awake for like a minute.
