I have been having these muscle spasms whenever i try WILD or sleep for that matter. It is really annoying and irratitating which actually happens out of the blue and not because, i dreamt that i fell on the stairs or something. Can anyone help me on how to solve this problem or how to reduce the chances of one happening? Thanks in advance
I also have the spasams when attepmting WILD, but I generaly just accept them and realize that twitches and things of that sort are signaling that you are transitioning into a dreaming state.
The feeling when you are falling is called hypnogogic phenomenon and is a proved thing, many people ( I have talked to at least) experience it. The muscle spasms for me are even wierder. When ever i am in school and extremely tired I try not to fall asleep but if i do begin to I experience light HI and the actions I do in the HI relate to minute spasms I have. For example if in the HI I throw a baseball, my arm will spasm a tiny bit. For some reason it only happens in school but i think its pretty funny.
It is called a myoclonic jerk, I believe. I get it more often when falling asleep quickly. It feels like falling through my bed! Do you get it more often if you are very tired?
I love that, where it feels like you’re falling. I usually get it when I trip in my dream or something, I throw up my arms to stop myself from falling and when I realize what happened I start laughing.
Yes indeed, many replies went deleted when the forum crashed and expecially some exchanges between wissam and me. I believed first it was myoclonic jerks, but they are no jerks indeed, they look just like a common problem when you’re not perfectly relaxed IMO and there are still some muscle tensions. So you have to relax those muscles more carefully.
