      Funny/Strange things you do during hypnogogia?

      During hypnogogia, on the verge of sleep I do some quite funny, but also strange things. Now, I'm not talking about vibrations or hearing things but more about my train of thought.
      For example, I wake up and think to myself "I better put my iPod on the floor so I don't roll over and crush it" I then roll over, pick it up, wrap up the headphones and drop it on the floor. I roll over again and feel something hard - my iPod... I imagined he whole thing.

      Another phenomena I get is being addicted to the internet. Sounds weird I know but I'll open a new tab, get angry about it, then close it. This can carry on for a good while and I can't do anything to stop it. Again, I imagine the whole thing.

      I was wondering, do you guys do any strange things on the verge of sleep and are they similar to mine?

      Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night without any reason, and I can't get back to sleep, though I get strong hypnagogic hallucinations of some determined topic. And when I say strong, I mean that I can't stop thinking about that topic, no matter how hard I try, even though I am awake. It's like a dream playing in 2nd plane in my mind, and it's very annoying cause I can't get back to sleep, and I usually have to stay awake an hour or so in the bed before falling asleep again.
      Sometimes I surprise myself wondering how would my character sheet be.

      Just today I interacted with my HH first time. I was looking at my carpet thinking I'll get lucid, after I pet the small 6-legged creature that was walking by. I raised my arms and felt the squishy body of this hairless, spider-like creature. Now that I think of it, pretty funny.

      last night i picked up an imaginary cheeseburger off of the passenger pillow, and continued to eat it for a while before snapping out of it and realizing what I was doing (which was nothing).... then I was sad because it was such an awesome cheeseburger... I made sure there really wasn't a cheeseburger one more time, and then went back to sleep....

      I can often control tactile HH while falling asleep if i want to.
      Once or twice i managed to control HH in such way that i was not sure where my hands and legs were anymore, not in a way that i couldn't feel them, but rather what i felt was so screwed up position-wise.

      I don't know if this relates to the thread but I had adream like 4 days ago in which my brother was searching my DV account and I was like "nooo". I leaned my right arm in front of the computer so that my body was on the way. I woke up and noticed I was doing the exact same thing in my bed while sleeping.

      When I was younger I used to experience things like the cheese burger reply. I would imagine I'm holding something and interacting with it such as a coin or something, when I woke up I was annoyed that I had imagined the whole thing.

      Long ago I had something similar to your roll over experience. I was so tired that I just wanted to take a nap, then I lay on the bed as I let myself fall upon it. My arm hanged on one side and I thought to better put it on the bed in order to avoid dreaming some weird thing pulling me under the bed. I felt I lifted my arm just a little, but it was too heavy for me that I let it fall again. When I did that, the weight of my arm pulled my down to the floor, then I sit on the bed and thought that it was a funny thing until I realized that I was still lying on the bed with my arm hanging on the same position. I decided to lift it right on the bed, but once again I fell on the floor because of its weight, this time I fell with all the stuff that was on the bed. I stood up and threw all the stuff back on the bed, then I sit once again until I realized that I was lying in the same position from the beginning. I fell for a third time, then I decided that it was more comfortable to sleep on the floor, but once again, I was in the same position from the beginning.
