I would just be watching my thoughts, and they would start to seem a little more real. I'd then notice, 'So im thinking about walking along a cliff. Oh dear, im about to fall, i wonder will i have a hypn..' *shake*

I dont 'think' these words to myself. Just trying to explain things =P
OMG thats exactly how my hypnic jerks happen. But the image (HI) and jerks happen almost simultaneously. Not a half second but I might say one mili second. Those HIs are like fall off, foot goes down just like you said or a ball hitting to my face...
