so i was laying in bed last night, i was on my stomach with my head turned. i had my eyes closed thinking and waiting for sleep to come. out of no where i started to have a sensation of falling forward. i felt my body jerk to brace myself to hit the ground. did i happen to fall asleep and start to OBE or something?
I think, i've had a similar experience... it depends on what position you're laying in.. you feel like you're falling, and then, your body jerks itself, because you're scared you're gonna hit the ground...
Actually, personally, I think if you just let yourself fall, and don't jerk yourself, you will fall out of your body... it's an easy EXIT method.. if you can overcome your reflexes to catch yourself...
I think this is called "hypnogogic jerk". It happens to me too, sometimes with a sensation of going downstairs quickly and tripping over. The bad news is that its a reflex and you can not control it.
