conspiracy theories

awake ✇

have you ever gotten that really weird feeling, you're about to fall asleep and then you just randomly jerk awake, like something just shook you awake.

for me and a couple of my friends this feeling isn't foreign. you're about to fall asleep and then you jerk awake to gasp for air and feel like you're falling,

scientists call this a hypnic jerk, this has a higher occurrence for people with irregular sleep patterns. there's a wide range of causes scientifically, anxiety and stress being a few.

even though this can scientifically be proven i believe there might be a bit more then just some anxiety. what if you're being pulled awake, what if there's something pulling you awake. i found some other means for hypnic jerks, "a body's alert to dying." what if whatever shook you awake is trying to save you from something else.

something that scares me is why does this happen? hear me out on this, what if something, something in the shadows (see rani's behind you chapter) is pulling you down, but you can run now can't you? some paranormal being is dragging you down about to get you but whatever tiny sliver of your mind is still awake jerks you awake, saves you from that shadow.

for the falling part this branches a bit to another theory, what if you feel like you're falling because when you jerked awake, it wasn't you just jerking awake, something lifted you up from whatever was pulling you down and when it drops you back down that's when you jerk up, that's when you get that falling feeling.

after all that you either fall asleep again or if you're anything like me you can't sleep wondering what had just happened, what just caused that whole thing. i couldn't sleep the first time it happened to me. but after all that i couldn't help but wonder, what had picked me up, what had jerked me awake?
