Occasionally, when I'm trying to fall asleep I become very calm.. I feel as though I'm floating and moments after I feel this sensation it feels like I'm back? I don't know how to describe it.. Its like I, in a way, jump back into my body? Does this happen to anyone else or can anyone tell me why it happens?
Used to happen to me when I was a teen. Floated up with eyes closed. Felt like I had my nose to the ceiling. I thought it was cool. There was also the impression of a texture, like an egg crate; and an unknown color that I could taste. Sometimes, instead of floating up, I felt like I was turning head over heels - actually, it was heels over head.
Ummm.... I've gotten very calm and felt like I was on the verge of sleep, body feels kind of detatched and my mind feels really drowsy. It always makes me feel so happy that I'm about to get to sleep, but then- BACK AWAKE!!! it sucks... I've also fallen back into my body, if you will. Trying to get to sleep and really not concious, when all of a sudden I feel like I'm falling and I wake up as I hit the ground and I kinda thrash trying to grab shit and get my bearings and I wake up really confused...
Sounds like you were having an outer body experience. Some people seek out this kind of experience, and claim to travel on the astral plane. There are lots of books out there on astral travel, and the astral body. I read one personal account that basically said everyone has an astral body that is identical in every way to the physical body, and that with training one can leave the physical body on an astral chord and travel anywhere at great speeds as the astral body. Also the author goes on to say that the Astral Body is our real self; that which goes on even after death, but eventually fades away with time. Ghosts are like astral bodies after death has come to people. The author also says that the experience of starting astral travel is like rising up towards the ceiling at first as the astral body begins it's journey, and then leveling off into a standing position. He said that it was very unsettling when he first did it, and it was not voluntary. You seem to be relaxed while it is happening, if that is what is occuring to you. That sounds like a good thing. At least it is not frightening to you. In dreams, we may be traveling on the astral plane as spirits. The dream world may be like the world we experience on a day to day basis, but with different rules.
I found this extremely interesting. I don't know whether I have had this experience or not. I felt more as if I was going in waves instead of floating up...and it felt as if I had small, but firm poking pressure on my back/limbs/perhaps finger tips...this is very hard to describe..hmm..sometimes something will poke me when i'm wide awake, and the surface area of the object and the force at which it poked me will give me deja vu of my "waving" experiences. Perhaps I was just light-headed and I fainted while lying down....I don't know...It's been a while since i've felt this, but it was very neat when I did.
sometimes i feel the eath move beneath my bed.... like a spinning sensation ... and then my bed starts to rock back and forth....... I think its a comfort thing that helps you go into a deep sleep........ because I only get that sensation before I dream really really crazy dreams
I've got that. It's like a trance, Kinda like meditation, I suppose.. But when I come out of it, I think I get a little more awake then usual, then drift off easier. I'unno.
it is astral stuff thats happening to you, i practise astral travel and lucid dreaming. if i was you id persue it, your can have some amazing out of this world experiances with it(quite litterally) does anyone get vibrations thru there body and a rushing sound in there ears?? thats the sensations i tend to get although i have had the spinning and floating sensations to, theres lots of dirrent things u can experiance. on all the stuff ive read about it, which is quite alot, and based on my own experiances to corobarate what ive read. i belive that we all leave our bodys every night and the dream world is a low level of the astral plane where thoughts become reality, thats what your dreams are, astral travel is realising this and moving to a higher level where the dream imagery drops away and u see what is really there. does anyone ever feel like they can see thru there eyelids when there goin to sleep? i get this happen to me as well. its all part of the same thing. also the first time anything ever heppened to me, i had this crazy intense vibrating start and this loud rushing in my ears, it went on for about 10 seconds gettin faster n louder. and it shit me up and i forced my eyes open to make sure i could, and as i did i got a jolt, like ya do when ya jump in ya sleep sometimes when your napping on the couch, and i belive that was my astral body comming back into my physical. i find it intresting about the vibrations for the fact that everything in the world is made out of waves, so i guess you feeling the waves of your physical as you desync with it. that last bit is just me guessing though, im not good at science. this is a really good website about astral travel though. one of the best ive seen, they also do free online courses to help u succeed. http://www.astralweb.org/ but if u type it into google theres loads of stuff about it. personally i think its amazing, its one of the only things that lets u look into the true unknown.
there are three or four stages of sleep depending on how you group them, and the first initial stage (long story short) is where u are drifting out of conscious awareness but not quite asleep and it is a very floating feeling, sometimes u may feel like you're falling as well...and eventually you drift into your REM cycle where u have dreams and what not, and u switch stages of sleep all throughout the night
It happens to me every so often, and I've done a little bit of astral travel. I'm not very good at it, however.
