weird feelings when going to sleep

This might sound weird and it’s hard to explain, but sometimes just before I’m falling asleep I get this feeling like my body is changing sizes. That doesn’t really describe it very well. It’s like one second I feel like I’m this huge giant then the next I feel incredibly small. Like I’m expanding and shrinking. Just wanted to know if this was common or if it’s just a weird personal thing!

Hi Zzz (etz), welcome to the forum!

Its not somehting very uncommon I guess, since I have that feeling too sometimes. Pretty cool stuff :smile:.

I’ve had these sensations ever since I was about 4 years old. They’re so strange; it’s almost as if the world is reshuffling its space dimensions. I wonder what causes it… I usually get them nowadays when I’m doing some meditative practice while lying in bed.

Used to feel that as a kid. I feel it sometimes still, but it’s rare.

Don’t know what it is. But it’s so real :confused:

I have those feelings too, but i thought it was only me. Sometimes my arms shrink, then get really big. Sometimes its only one arm.

I never felt exactly yhat you’re describing, but do I sometimes feel like I’m being tilted from side to side just before I fall asleep.

I used to feel that all the time as a kid! Never felt the body changing thing though.

I have a feeling pretty much like this. Sometimes I lay there and feel myself getting shorter and shorter. Other times I feel like i’m getting realy tall and expect my head to hit the headboard and my feet to start danggling over the edge of the bed. :grin: I’d say it’s pretty common.

I haven’t had that, but I’ve had weird floating sensations before. :om:
