convulsing issue

So…as of late I have seriously been knuckling down and have been working on lucid dreaming. Now, I have done loads of reading. I’ve memorized steps and information and I know I am ready…however I am having a bit of a problem. Once I start relaxing and getting into “the zone”, either an arm or leg jerks violently and I am thrust back awake. Has anyone had this problem before? and if so, how do you overcome it?

Moved from General Lucidness. :dragon:

The jerk will be a myoclonic jerk … if you put myoclonic into the search you will get hundreds of topics that mention it. They are common and occur just as you are falling asleep.

thanks. I’ll definitely look it up. I tried jerk or jerking…and i got a lot of posts about people :tongue:
