Right as I fall asleep, something odd happens. Just before i succumb to the depths of sleep, my brain sort of sends a shock to my entire body, sort of refusing to fall asleep.
Sometimes it gets weirder,
I've had these times where I actually fell asleep but not entirely, my brain was still in touch with reality somehow, something in me knew that I was bound to wake up very soon. During these times I often have short spanned dreams with a tragic ending, such as falling from a tall place or getting hurt in other serious ways, sometimes involving other human beings. The thing that tripped me out the most in this scenario is how time goes on - even though these "shocks" are short lived, sometimes I wake up feeling those shocks after sleeping for several hours, when my "hidden consciousness" sort of was sure that little time had been spent.
Just out of curiosity, has alice ever felt something like that?
Or anything else, really. Talk to me, alice

Yes it's an evolutionary trait that gave monkeys the ability to adjust themselves and not fall from a tree and bust their heads open.At least that's one theory.

I have those, a lot actually. I don't remember the dream that I have before I wake up. I always thought that my dream finished with me falling. Just one time was out of the ordinary, I felt like someone or something pushed me into the bed as I was waking up.
I never gave them much thoughts tho.

There usually is a slight gap between the awakening/snoozing-off of your "mind" and your "body". When going to bed, lay still and don't move a single muscle or roll over. You will most certainly experience hypnagogic hallucination.
I sometimes have very loud auditive hallucinations, as if someone spoke directly into my ear or something hitting the ground, right before or even past the loss of consciousness, even bringing me back into a woke state. This is more common, when I am physically tired at bedtime, though the whole phase is obviously shorter.
When waking up it is called sleep paralysis. The gap might be wider, when waking up from a bad dream, hence the often cited feel of terror and threat connected with that state.
ps: Don't search for "hypnagogic hallucination" or "sleep paralysis" in an image search before going to bed.

That's your brain checking to see if the mind is asleep before putting you into sleep paralysis.
If you're asleep your brain can put you under paralysis so you don't act out your dreams (kinda like sleep walking). And if you are awake, the zap makes you react and your brain knows you're still conscious, trying again later.

This is the beginning of astral projection, you can sustain this if you sit with the vivid images (in the beginning there will be all ranges of fears shown to you) but eventually you can prolong it and enter an actual separate reality and live there/make changes. You can see your physical body & go anywhere, just don't make your 'vehicle' (what you will use to move around the astral world) anything animal, because you will take on the qualities of that beast unavoidably and it can wreak havoc in your subconscious. Changes you make in the astral world affect the real world, also you can meet other people there and go to different planets. I've been hanging out on Mars on tuesdays and Venus on fridays, if you wanna meet me there we can go to Saturn.
