Sounds like hypnagogic imagery. These are images or sounds that come as impulses during the onset of a hallucinogenic state. Usually before or after sleep. |

I was just lying in bed with my head on the pillow slipping into sleep, when suddenly I felt like I was hit on the top of the head with something like flat side of a shovel. My body tensed up and my head jolted as though it was hit. I was in a state of confusion and shock for a few seconds. Once I realized what happened, I thought it was interesting, but didn't really try to find anything out about the occurrence. Now I am starting to wonder, is there a technical term for that sort of occurrence, and how often does something like that happen on average? |

Yeah I got that aswell: I was letting my mind wander and all of a sudden I "saw" a friend of mine hitting my stomach violently and my whole body just jolted...crazy... |

Getting back to LDing
-This can be a dream-
This is called a hypnic jerk. I get these all time - most of the time it's a tripping or falling sensation just before I fall asleep, and my whole body jerks and I wake up briefly. |

Luminous Spacious Dream Masters That Holographically Communicate
among other teachers taught me
not to overestimate the Value of our Concrete Knowledge;"Common sense"/Rationality,
for doing so would make us Blind for the unimaginable, unparalleled Capacity of and Wisdom contained within our Felt Knowledge;Subconscious Intuition.
Before I fall asleep I have felt I was being chased by dogs, and tripping over barbed wire. I have felt myself be hit by a train. |

this has happened to me also i try to cultivate them if i lie flat on my back with my eyes closed and either focus on one thing or let my mind wander i eventually get strange sensations of shrinking and growing larger and my visual field begins to warp this goes away i start to feel my heart beat faster i will experience brief flashes of imagery mostly like the other guy said ciggerate smoke or using a computer that look completely real this starts to happen more and more frequently until i see flashes of light much like when you push on your eyes i then feel as if I'm pysicly were somwere else i can feel my body in my bed and in waterer setting I'm seeing sometimes it looks completely real like the firs time it happened i was in my living room on my couch and my dad was sitting on a chair with a completely bland stare and dead eyes saying i know about the computer over and over it happened very suddenly and went on for about ten seconds before terrified i bolted up and felt extremely a fried that i was in a false awaking and that i would be attacked by a monster or something it looked extremely real exept for the far that overlaying everything were swirly patterns it has happened many times since then and the imegry has always been extremely disturbing i come back accompanied by intense fear there seems to be another type like earlier tonight it happened again exept this time everything was in rainbow colors |

I've experienced many of these sensations also, and have found many threads reporting similar experiences. |
