Thread: Falling?

It's called a hypnic jerk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk). It's a common occurrence in most people and is not a lucid dream. A lucid dream is pretty much when you're fully conscious in your dream.

agentcoopersgirl1011, can you do these at will? Like, if you focus on it, can you do it? Just wondering because I can and I wondered if anyone else could.

I've yet to hit the ground when i dream of falling

hm. That makes sense EvilJoe. and, MisterHyde, I can't control it. They're rawwwwwtherr uncomfortable, so I wouldn't want to anyway

I really focus on Breathing, because when you hit that floor you will awake, Why breathing? Because you will control your world a bit better; everything will become a bit brighter and you will lose that fear of hitting the floor. Hence, you won't.

I'm afraid that's not a Lucid Dream. Lucidity is when you have controll over what happens in a dream.
Tripping over is pretty standard. As for that lurch, We've all had dreams with that sensation.

Nothing to worry about .

then you feel that you are becoming weightless, or falling into something bottomless...or floating, rising up, that means.. its you.. who goes up or down.. out of body.. because you feel it..so it is you.
And such experience is nice, although it can be associated with oobe or obe.. but the main thing it is something about you..
