  • Every-time that happens to me I'm on like some invisible force-field above spicks made of rocks. I usually look up and see this creepy shadow before I fall. :/

    This happens to everyone i think its called sleep paralasis. I renember my teacher telling me that when your having a dream where your falling you never hit the ground before you wake up, but if you do hit the the ground your dead. <- im not sure if thats true google it:L

    I usually imagine I am on a concrete pillar a metre square that is about 400m high in the air - like a diving platform. I scared I will fall off but have not fallen yet. This is my ultimate dream / sleep state. I also dram about sleeping on abandoned oil rigs.

    They're called myoclonic jerks and they're normal.

    Happens. Infact, at one point, my mind had an earthquake fear. For about a month or more, I'd be chilling/sleeping doing whatever, suddenly I'd feel my bed shake. Scary. I woke up a zillion times probably imagining tremors.

    It's called a hypnic jerk. It happens as you just say just as you're falling to sleep.
    When you're over-tired or as your muscles are relaxing the hypnic jerk kicks in and it can startle you awake but it sometimes feels as though you're falling.
    Don't worry, everyone experiences it, it's normal =)
