    Hello everyone,

    I hope you all are having a good day.  I have a question to ask if anyone has the same experience or knows what it is.

    For 5-7 years I’ve been experiencing a strange feeling in a couple of minutes before I fall asleep unconsciously. It’s a feeling like I’m a leaf floating on the surface of water (ocean). Very light, and rocking left-right, right-left according to the waves of the water.  This feeling usually lasts for 10-20 seconds. It occurs around 60-70%  of all my sleep.  By the way, I am a very deep sleep person. I almost don’t move at all and don’t dream (or don’t remember anything about my dreams).

    I’m asking this because yesterday I had a hypnosis session.  I was totally awake during the session even though I closed my eyes and felt very light and still in 3 hours.  Then I had that floating/rocking feeling in a faster speed and longer (like 2 minutes).

    I’m not sure if I was in trance, or whether it’s my brain/imagination or higher self talked because I hear everything the therapist asked and I answered and I remember everything.

    Thank you so much.

    Dear June:

    Is it that you imagine that you are a leaf on the ocean or is it that you feel like you are floating? In either case, do you feel that it  is  an abnormal imagery/ sensation?

    I don’t think it is abnormal, after all,  our brain is an amazing organ with many  thousands, maybe  hundreds  of thousands of neuropathways, connection between nerve cells, allowing us to see  what  really is out there and to see images produced in our brains.  We  can see so many images when we close our eyes, awake or asleep. The images we saw before, in life, in movies are stored and appear while no longer in front  of us. Same with sounds, smells and  tastes. Same with bodily sensations like floating.

    Hi Anita,

    Thank you.  I did feel floating on water surface, not imagination.

    Dear June:

    You are welcome.

    I don’t  understand: if you felt like floating on water, but you were not floating on water, it was not reality, was it, I mean, you were not really floating on water, no?

    And if you were not floating on water, and  it was  not imagination, what do you think it  was?

    Haha I guess the time before falling into sleep is the mix-up time of reality and illusion.  I did feel very real that I float on water, but of course it’s not physically true.

    Dear June:

    I once dreamed, maybe it was a time between sleeping and being awake, that I was like a bird, flying among the clouds, flying around the clouds, my arms spread. It felt  so real, the cool air around me, the feeling  of freedom, the flying with no effort, no difficulty. It felt so good. I  don’t remember how  old I was. But for a long time I wanted to believe that I really did fly in the sky. I wanted that feeling  again. I didn’t like the idea that it was not real.

    Hi June and Anita..

    I am an aikido practitioner. Our sensei has taught us how to make our body light like floating so we can addapt with our partner movement easily, even when we are being thrown.

    Floating body we can do in aikido with moving our center point from hara/tanden to anywhere of our body parts using our mind.

    But even my sensei still can not find out how to implement floating body into archery so we can pull the bow easily/lightly with no tension in hands. My sensei ha got once unconciously ith hi 55 lbs bow.

    He is finding out/learning how to do it  conciously like in aikido when being thrown.

    regards
