	I've had hypnic jerk quite a few times, but I didn't know what it was called until know. Lucid dreams from time to time, usually shortly before I wake up.

	Well, if I put 'wet dream' I would be tempted to keep putting parasomnia disorders and the list would get huge. I find these choices interesting for adults like us, though I don't really believe in Out of Body experiences [yet]. I'm sorry for whoever voted for "Night Terrors" ... I researched a bit and it's frightening. Well, depends on the severity of them. PS: I voted for the falling sensation. While terrifying at first, it's sort of neat Edited by Zitro - June 21 2007 at 20:05

	Naaahhh! I hate those hypnagogic jerks! They freak me out. The number of times I've woken myself up thinking I've missed my footing or stepped off a cliff, only to find I've kicked the cat off the bed in my sleep.
	What?

	I have the falling experience on occasion along with weird spasms. Other than that, nothing. I can rarely remember my dreams for that matter too.

	I've only ever experienced sleep paralysis from those you listed. But you forgot to include "wet dreams"
	I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

	You may vote multiple times (to choose more than one choice). Which of these things have you experienced ... as an adult/teenage. To clarify: _Falling Sensation is like feeling as if the bed is falling in free-fall style (or other falling sensations for others) when you are just dozing off or waking up. Hypnic Jerk is the body spasm when that feeling happens. _Sleep Paralysis is being unable to move in any way for a short amount of time after waking up or before dozing off. Sleep paralysis is almost always present in deep stages of sleep so that you don't act out dreams and injure yourself. _Night terrors are not nightmares. Night terrors is waking up somewhat shortly after beginning sleep with a huge alarmed/terrified feeling. You are not in deep sleep yet, so your body is awake and unparalyzed while your mind brings terrifying hallucinations like shadows, dead babies, and sometimes feelings of being touched. However, some people don't recall these situations afterwards. Lucid Dream: Beingable to realize you are dreaming in a dream and because that happens, you can control the dream as you want to ... maybe make love to annie haslem or the guy from Pain of Salvation :P Edited by Zitro - June 22 2007 at 00:14
