I am not sure what this is...but a lot of time when I sleep on my left side, my brain would start messing around...it's hard to explain, I would start seeing some really STRANGE thing but not being able to move my body. I think I was awake, I was fully conscious of myself..but probably more like half-awake state of mind. This only happens when I sleep on my left side. I don't know, does this happen to you guys?

They're always there, it's just your peripheral vision doesn't usually pick them up while on your back. Don't worry, they only want to play. :)

It happens when I am about to fall to sleep...but caught in the trap between sleep and being awake...it's pretty fvck up experience I have to say. I am not sure if it's the thing I see or just image I conjure up in my brain, but I could almost swear I see SPIRIT during that state of mind....damn, now I can't fall to sleep!

this happens to me on occasion, wednesday actually was the last time.

I've read up on it and it a type of lucid dreaming. You cannot move your body because your body sent a signal to the brain "are you still awake" got no answer back. So your body said "ok i'm going to sleep now" meanwhile you were not asleep, just in a lucid and or meditative state and all kinds of stuff starts coming to you over the celestial wireless. You know you are not asleep and you know you cannot move your body but yet you cannot do anything about it so you kind of just space out on whatever is flying through your mind. I would take this as a good thing as I dont know to many ppl that are capable of this on a regular basis. My next expirement is going to be not to get freaked out that i cant move my body and start to really see what type of things can manifest in my mind and if I may be able to actually leave my body completely....i'm sur ethis will take practice but its worth the shot.

so yeah ...not wierd just not common.

i think everyone has a side they "favor" for sleeping. that side becomes more comfortable or maybe a habit for ensuring good sleep.

Are you snoring? It could be your boyfriend is rolling you over because of the racket you're making.

I hear it is NOT good to sleep on your left side as it puts added pressure on your heart. Sleep on your right side if you must sleep on your sides.

Sounds like a myth to me. Any sources for this?

Sleeping on your left side increases pressure on the heart?

Yeah, OK.

I second that. Any doofus who names himself purbeast and is touting his sexual prowess on an internet chat board is, more than likely, living in his parents basement, without windows, without friends, no contact to the outside world other than his damn keyboard, and has fantasy flights with the Macauley Culkin poster on his wall.

I have that happen sometimes, too. It's terrifying. I panic. Usually happens to me when I nap, rarely at night during normal sleep.
