Does this happen to anyone else? Dream/sorta awake/ghost? related

Visit some lucid dreaming forums if you feel loony talking about it here. Not everyone is into the whole dream thing but those people are and you'll probably feel more comfortable talking to them..

I used to have the hypnagogic type real bad for a while, over a span of a month or two maybe. I would feel like I was falling off a cliff and violently start up in reaction. Normal process of losing consciousness to sleep, but for some reason I remained too aware of it. The feeling of falling was extremely visceral and felt super rapid -- practically enough to make me gasp in shock. Not fun. Don't know why I started doing that or why I stopped.

I love this, and posted about it in the Lounge. I try to remain conscious during that state on purpose, in order to eventually step into a dream fully aware that it is a dream.

For me it's more a very loud buzzing and vibration, similar to the sound a fax machine makes while connecting. Once you fight through that though, it's peaceful and you can start conjuring up imagery...
