I still start dreaming as soon as I fall asleep at times. Not to do with any other things going on. Falling asleep into a dream is abnormal. I'm glad I don't do it a lot these days. For a few years as an adult I always went straight into dreaming. Actually almost any time I was awoken (by a sound, the phone etc) I woke from a dream. It was quite exhausting. It was like being awake around the clock.

I hear you're supposed to sleep soundly for 90 minutes before you start dreaming. I actually think I do that most nights nowadays.

I think hypnic jerks are so common so they don't really count as anything. But I can see if they happen much more often with people who have hypnagogic states because their sleep switch seems a bit off. I would think it is much more common having hypnic jerks going into deep sleep compared to REM sleep.

That said, people can have non REM dreams. My friend has those, she almost lacks REM sleep (confirmed) and rarely dreams but when she does, it is often non REM dreams. REM dreams are wild and crazy and full of actions. When I ask her what she dreamt she goes like "I dreamt there was a glass of milk". I ask what happened with it because in a REM dream something would happen to it. She goes "Nothing happened, it was there, that is all." She also dreamt really exciting things like that it had snowed, that there was a shoe on the floor and that she was lying in bed. All separate dreams. LOL. 

I am glad to help you, Missy :)

You're right. Haldol is trade name of haloperidol. I don't know why but haloperidol injection better than tablets. In my experience: when I used the pill I had problem with muscle spasms. This was painful when the muscles of my lower jaw clenched and shifted to the side :) 

Oh, I see. Haldol is a scary drug as fuck. But if it hleps, it's good.

Are you talking about sleep paralysis? maybe i shoulda read the previous posts...furk it. 

It does seem to bother her. It shouldn't though. Here is why.

BPD is bogus. Half the BPD population are AsPD females not living up to AsPD just because they do their shit it a female, not a male way. The rest have c-PTSD.

Having sleep terrors comes from being pulled out of really deep sleep (usually delta sleep) without shallowing out the sleep which is normal. Pulled out by your own mind.

I have no idea if this is anyway tied to real life experience or real anxiety because it seems to happen unprovoked at times. But when I had sleep terrors myself they were always in a period of my life where I suffered existential angst.

Does it bother you that some people think you have BPD?

I'd suggest a sleep study if I didn't know that health care in our country really went downhill. It's definitely not normal to always dream while sleeping, and not normal to fall asleep right into a dream.

Mental illness or mental stress can worsen existing parasomnias, but sleep disorders can actually sometimes cause mental illness or mental unwellness.

Would you say this is true in Mika's case?

Just from the little I've seen, I don't think AsPD is likely.
