Handling Violent Physical Reactions During Sleep

"Half an hour after falling asleep, I recognise something I’ve always known – that all this is actually nothing, and I’m just experiencing everything. Yet, my body will move violently, and I wake up. This has happened for 20 years. Can you explain? Rupert says: ‘The sense of separation in you is threatened by this experience. It has undergone a kind of mini death. The separate self is afraid of its own demise and is shrieking for your attention. What I would suggest is this: you go back voluntarily to your true nature, not involuntarily during sleep. As you sink back into awareness or into being, you may feel this rebellion. You take your stand. You feel yourself as the presence of awareness in which this vortex of energy, this rebellion is taking place.’"
