Strange feelings

[mysticmelon]

i joined this forum a while back and read-up the tutorials etc and had some good lucid dreams. you know the feeling you get when you are trying to go to sleep, and the moment you are passing from awake to sleep, you sometimes realize it and you feel a shock, as though you are falling, and then you snap back awake? i never felt that before i had a lucid dream. when that happens, theres a funny feeling in my stomach, its the feeling you get when you are scared or terrified, i guess its caused by falling asleep, but recently ive started feeling similar sensations when wide awake, e.g. an ordinary day at work, i could suddenly feel that "terrified" sort of feeling building up, and then i shake it off. its annoying and kind of worrying. anyone think this could be related to dreaming experiments? sometimes when i am dreaming, i feel this same sensation but it is constant, and in most of my dreams these days i am actually being thrown around my bedroom in some kind of dizzy state

You mean dreams where you're shot, fall down, or get bitten by something just a few seconds after actually falling asleep and you wake up right away with a big start? I get those all the time (since i was very young) and i get it more when I'm sleeping in a strange place. But getting that feeling during the day, coupled with a recurring dream? strange! Is there anything bothering you that could be occupying your subconcious? The only thing I can suggest is writing down a small report every time it happens: What were you thinking about when it happened, how did you feel before and after, did any memories come up? really try to search your feelings next time it happens.
