Those are hynagogic jerks, something your body does do loosen tension in the muscles. At least, small twitches are. Large movements, such as an entire arm or leg being jolted, may be related to sleep paralysis. |

Hey there everyone, I've only started experimenting with lucid dreams over the past few weeks and just signed up to this forum to get some more information. |

Are you dreaming?
Sounds like a hypnic jerk. Most of the time we have sort of a half dream that goes along with these. The body's muscles do twitch and spasm as we're going to sleep and waking up. Its a normal process, though normally we don't remember these because we aren't usually conscious enough at the time. That would be why we're more likely to experience them during a WILD attempt. |

Glad you asked that question because i forgot to ask it. Its rather annoying when it happens like 3 times in a row or more. its almost as if your suddenly startled for no reason right? i dont think its a hypnic jerk, for me at least because i dont feel like im falling. it usually just happens out of nowhere. |

I get these too they get really annoying. |

This hs happend to me a few times to, but In my mind I will have HI and I will jerk if is I trip in the semi-dream or some one will push me. I'm pretty sure its normal. |
