Thought I’d drop by again after quite a long time ^^.
The reason is as follows: I’ve had a pretty cool experience falling asleep last night. The last time something like that happened was when I began experimenting with LD, I think I tried WILD back then. However, I’ve pretty much given up on LDing. I only try some techniques every now and then. I’m not doing much of a thorough job keeping my DJ. Which is all bad, I know 
.
Anyway. Last night, I went to bed normally, not thinking about LD or anything. I was listening to some music (some calm stuff, Joanna Newsom or something, don’t really remember) on my MP3-player. After some time, I fell asleep and I remember having a pretty short dream, very intense, though. One of those that you have before really falling asleep deeply, you know? But here comes the cool part:
I had this EXTREMELY intense sensation of something pulling me into opposite directions (pulling at my legs in the one and at my upper body in the other direction). It was different from that typical sensation of falling most people experience quite often, as far as I know, it lasted much longer and was way more intense. However, I didn’t do anything to stop it, as I normally would have. Instead, I instantly thought, it might be helpful for inducing a LD, so I let it happen. And that is something I wouldn’t have expected, because I am the unrivaled master of not noticing Dream Signs and then I notice something like that all of a sudden? Cool, but an unusual thing to happen to me ^^.
Maybe I was a expecting too much, so the feeling slowly weakened and disappeared. When it was gone, though, I could still feel some kind of strain in my muscles when I moved a tiny little bit. When I think about it, it was quite reminiscent of the weird feeling you have after deep meditation and relaxation.
The whole thing wasn’t exactly a pleasant feeling but not really bad, either.
So, what was it? Just some form of that hypnagogic “falling” thing? Is it in any way connected to LD induction? The one other time something like it happened was when I was relaxing very deeply in order to induce a LD by WILD.
I bet that kind of stuff has been discussed millions of times already, so sorry for that, didn’t find anything like it right now, though.
