Thread: Dreams While Falling Asleep?

Sometimes when I am falling asleep it seems like I start to dream immediately. Except I'm not sure if it's dreaming, or if it's just really weird thoughts because I am so tired.

Does anyone know about this? Dreaming while I'm falling asleep, waking briefly from it, and then falling asleep for good.

I think I know what you might mean...Is it like when you think about things as you're falling asleep then your mind totally drifts by itself to a completely different subject and you're not even controlling it, just like a dream, and then waking up breidly when you realise? It happens to me all the time. @_@

Same here

I always say that my lucid dreaming always starts from an exhausted
state, where im right on the threshold of wakefulness and sleeping!
I have to be exhausted tho, or i cant get into it. When i feel the
right circumstances i just start the lucid dream!
When i feel the tingle or the shift (as ive read in here) i push my dream
self out of my real body and start LDing.

oh maybe your werent talking about LD tho huh? Well when i get those
quick like drifting dreams i make myself slip immediately into a LD!

I experience this when I WILD. It's the transition between being awake and dreaming when you start to dream. Sounds like you just happened to wake up during this phase.

This is what i do!! So its called WILD?? What does it stand for?
I suppose its in here somewhere but i just got here.

What you are describing also might be hypnagognic imagery. As you begin to drift off to sleep, it is common to experience 'day dreams' of sorts. It's during this same period of sleep that you might experience a hypnic jerk. Ever been drifting off to sleep, already immersed in a dream, only to be 'jolted' awake? That's the same phenomenon.

could be weird thoughts
