What Happens to us Just as We Fall Asleep?

(Not sure what Forum to put this in.)

I've been really curious about what happens with our minds mouth/eye/et cetera - not the Physiological part - But... Like do we just do our mind's talking and then maybe just stop mid-sentence and fall silent in our minds, except for dreaming? Or do we just continue our usual mental self-talk?

(I tried finding info about this online, but couldn't...)

 

we let go our iron conscious grip on our thinking. if we are lucky, or have trained it well, our inner dialog calms itself, then begins to flow in randomly chosen creative directions.

 

My sister swears meditation is the best. You get your mind all quiet and then just concentrate on breathing and go to sleep. I've done it a couple times. I'm a lot more ready to sleep then why I try to keep thinking. Know what I mean?

 

we log on to a subconscious psyonic internet, which teleports us into a parallel universe.

sometimes.

though most of how we experience it, is just our subconscious kind of freewheeling.

 

some of those alternate parallel universes.. I have seen in my dreams..i never want to see again....lol

 

Not sure about others, but it feels as though I'm falling. My legs give a sudden jerk and then zzzzzzzzz

 

Anybody find it easier to fall asleep with music on?

 

i like to have some type of background noise, i dont like it to be completely silent normally .. something like a fan running or something

i dont usually find it that easy to fall asleep usually tho, no matter what the conditions are :/ .. at least not when i *should* be falling asleep

 

i can only fall asleep with the tv on watching something that I am interested in, and then I usually fall asleep...and it is hard to hear the tv, as i have the sound on low, and the dogs' snoaring makes it hard to hear, so that is a struggle at times, too....LOL

 

Yeah, I have Ambient music/w nature sounds. Plus some home fragrance oil on my burner. This helps me to fall asleep in no time.

 

What I mean more specifically is...

Do we just think - like I do in my experience - and then just stop mid-thought sentence and then...

What???

 

well no, our thoughts go on thinking themselves, they're just no longer bound by the adamance of our waking assumptions. an adamance far more unrealistic then the diversity of nature. so we then experience our thoughts without the distractions of the assumptions of others. when this happens, our thoughts though, become like the client side, like the web browser of a kind of psionic internet. but there's no suddenly stoping and starting of anything going to sleep. waking up there often is, but this comes not from nature but external distractions of waking life once again intruding on our process of experiencing.

although i must say, how people see what they may have dreamed after they are once again awake, may be very greately colored by cultural, religious and other presumptions and expectations.
