Is it normal that i have mini nightmares in bed

I'm doing this on my iPhone sry for typos.

So when I'm in bed and in half asleep, ordrifting to sleep, I have these mini dreams and the dreams always end in me in shock. for exmaple, I wasn't fully asleep, in fact I just got in bed and I see this elevator then a dog appears and leaps on me. I wake up in shock.

Does this happen to everyone? mini dreams that end up in shock? They happen sometimes but always before Im asleep. I ust get into deep thought and go half asleep, and something happens and I wake up in shock. A little like a mini nightmare.

    I almost had a heart attack in my sleep, I was dreaming I was in the car and all of a sudden a sinkhole open and I fell in.

    None of these comments correspond the OP's question, or match the example he gave.

    One night i was watching a zombie movie and i went to sleep (of course it was along time ago)
    The only parts i recall are:
    I found myself outside running from a group of blood stained men and women and even children!
    When i got my my bro handed me a shot gun...
    I didnt know but the horde had caught up...my brother died and i ran inside...
    my house has stairs that if you go to the top theres a square part of the wall removed so some kid could climb up easily and fall...Most likely die
    I always force my self(in the heat of the terrorizing moment) I Ran jumped tucked and hoped for the best all the sudden i saw a flash back that had to do with everything i was told, Taught, trained, recieved...Everything in my WHOLE LIFE!!!! And i felt a terrible sharp pain...everything blood red...

    The next morning i was right in a hospital due to a fractured skull...
    I asked my bro what happend...
    Later on i discoverd a bite mark on his lower left wrist...
    I was worried about my dreams becoming reality for then on...

    of course i was probaly hungry for meat and when i was done i triped and fell or sumtin o-o
    Thats my mini dream ever since i was like...9 or 11

    I thought I was the only one! That happens to me, though for some reason my mini dreams are always the same, I'm leaning back on our blue leather armchair and suddenly it will tip over and I think I'm gonna smack my head on the ground and die, then I'll jolt awake in complete shock as if it actually just happened.

    I have these. Usually they're about me falling off a cliff or a murderer is chasing after me...

    This is what happens just as you are falling to sleep, because you are not fully asleep yet a little noise could wake you up out of your sleep mode, which would also give you a shock. It happens to everyone, I usually mini dream that I am falling off a cliff and wake up before I hit the bottom. Hope this explained it for you. (:
