Hi, I’m brand new to this, and only started researching it today because I had one (or three) last night, and it was the most amazing thing I’ve ever felt.
What happened: I woke up at 1:00 am with indigestion. Not totally unusual. I sat up for a while to wait for it to go away. When it did, I laid on my left side to go back to sleep. While laying there, I felt my body begin rolling to my back without me trying. It startled me and I jumped up a little, but I was still on my side. Not sure what happened, I laid back on my side again. After a moment, I felt my self rolling over to my back again, but I didn’t fight it. I literally felt like my muscles were causing me to roll over. I kept rolling until the point where I knew my back should have hit the bed, except it didn’t. I felt like I was falling, back first. Next thing I know I’m laying on the bed again, but my wife is walking over to me. I knew I was dreaming, considering I’m on a work trip and she’s a few hundred miles away. I went ahead and let her lay next to me and I put my arms around her as I normally would when we’re going to sleep. The weird thing was I could literally feel her as if she was right there. Not just had the impression she was there, it felt no different than if I was grabbing something while awake. Eventually I woke up, or at least I think I did, because I had what felt like two more (one after the other) where I knew I was dreaming.
Questions: Is the feeling of falling normal when entering a LD, and is it always that life like as far as feeling things?
Thanks
