Is it normal to feel like you're dying?

Is it normal to feel like you're "falling" into death?

Like just before you fall asleep and that you may not wake up?

I've often felt that way and freaked myself awake and often just before I'm falling asleep or just as I'm falling asleep and sometimes it takes a bit to snap out of it.

P.S. This is not a drug related feeling!

    You'll die when you die so don't waist your life and enjoy every single second of it!

    Yes, it is quite normal, but not everyone notices it. Try reciting poetry or singing songs to yourself as you fall asleep...you won't notice it so much. It is just the moment when your mind is emptying and you are crossing from full awareness into sleep.

    accept death, you cannot run away from it. Maybe something you have done disturbs you. It can sound dark but when you live with it you are peaceful

    Yes, but the term your looking for is 'Lurch'. Some suffer from it worse than others, i know i had it the other night, it's not nice but, it's there. It's stress related maybe, so what do you think triggers your stress. But it's called the Lurch effect.

    I dont have this problem but you obviously have an inner fear of death. You should try going on a vision quest. just go on a hike alone in the woods for multiple hours and think about death. Try to come to an understanding and an acceptance. Your nightly worries are only piling on stress and bringing you closer to death faster. You need to deal with the problem as soon as you can.
