Thread: Need explanation of this feeling when going to bed

Sometimes when I lie down to sleep, this feeling of high velocity forced falling overwhelms me.

Sort of like this instant rush and it happens only moments after lying down.
It comes over me suddenly and I'm not awake.
It feels like I'm going to die and I immediately wake up each time.

This happens the same way each time.

Anybody know what this is?

I would learn to embrace the feeling. You're not going to die.

I use to call this falling down the rabbit hole. The feeling that i was leaving reality and traveling toward the dream world. There were a few times that it happened to me and i was conscious during that time. I felt it was exhilirating.

If you can use this time as a realization toward your lucidity it might help propel you into some nice experiences.

I got that feeling before. I thought I was going to die but I think it is that you are about to fall asleep and you leting lose of control over the body. Feels disturbing but it isn't dangerous. It allways happend but mostly we don't feel it but sometimes we do.
