What do you mean by a common hallucination during SP? If I get you right, then you must be speaking about a feeling of being ripped out\thrown out of your body? Or not?

If so then this is not the same. A feeling of being ripped out\thrown out happened to me during LDs, too, not only during SP, and in the absence of body it always resulted in a feeling as if I'm being ripped out of my dream. In this case the dream got shattered so much that every time I slid from the dream into SP.

As for the sensation of being dragged, I'm surprised that it's rare, really, I read about it a few times in past...

But I just luckily happened to find a description while reading a book by some D. Degracia that I downloaded online. The author calls it "the wind":
Finally, there is one last thing to mention about moving during your OOBE. This is something I have encountered many, many times. What happens is it seems like a gust of wind will grab you and pull you along. It is almost as if some kind of magnetic force or something has captured you and is pulling you.
Then he describes it:
...a strong wind came out of nowhere and began to drag me along. I was thoroughly baffled and had no idea what was going on. Yet this wind pulled me along, backwards, and I remember moving very quickly through the walls of the house outside. I passed houses for a short while and then was being pulled through the forest, passing mostly pine trees.
It really sounds like the same thing that I had in mind.
