Has anyone ever fainted in dreams before? I have quite a bit, but never had in real life. Sometimes I'd wake up before I hit the ground, but, other times I'd stay asleep. I guess in those dreams that I wake up for, I probably was scared about, how it felt to hit the ground. Right before I'd wake up, my body would make a quick jitter, THEN I'd wake up. I wonder why...
I have never fainted in a dream, or in real life. It seems like an odd concept to me, it doesn't seem like something that should happen in a dream.

You are refering to a Hypnic Jerk, I believe.

Nice title :P
FYI, I looked up your link, and it says that it happens from lack of sleep. I get at least 8, usually a min. of 9 hours of sleep a night, so, I don't have this because of that.
Maybe it is a dream sign. YOu can use it to get lucid if you RC every time you feel dizzy or faint in real life.
You just skimmed it, didn't you (not trying to be mean, it's your choice) because I wrote that I've never fainted in real life.
I know. That's why I said you feel dizzy or faint (as in feeling faint, the example being the title).
I also don't recall feeling faint.
Is there any other reason, that you know of, as to why I occassionally faint in dreams?
