feeling when drifting to sleep?

Question

I've notice that when i was drifting off to sleep that - from the time when u are drifting off to sleep to the point when u start falling into a deeper sleep your body suddenly jerks for a second, some people have described this as a falling feeling.

Why does the body do this or is it the soul or subconsious that is changing phases - maybe even astrally projecting?

Answer 1

A jerk upon awakening from a deep sleep is said to indicate a rapid landing at the end of astral projection; a jerk while you fall asleep may indicate a change of energetic phase (a change in your energetic system). I hope it helps.

Answer 2

Some feel it is an attempt to project astrally, and perhaps in realizing you are leaving your body, you get scared and jump back in. Others would say it is a physiological response of all of the muscles relaxing at once, then you pull back from it and suddenly tense up.... It happens to me from time to time, I am not sure exactly what causes it....

Answer 3

When that happens to me,I mean when I am drifting off to sleep,I feel as though I am going up into the air.

So I don't know about the falling sensation.

Answer 4

I used to do that too. But it would only happen in places where i feel I'm not suppose to be sleeping.

Answer 5

i do that too
