^^ That spasm might be more physical than psychological, I think: It's probably more that your body is reacting to the sometimes odd timing of a DEILD awakening (i.e., it might be over-reacting to an implied need to "get up" that came before it was prepared with the appropriate physiological machinery that gets us up in the morning by jerking your body into motion). So less "Fight or Fly" than "Oh crap he's waking up and I'm not ready," I think. Also, if you were talking specifically about waking with an erection, the answer is pretty much the same: the erection was part of your normal sleep pattern, and was simply a thing you now notice in your wakeful DEILD state.
What to do about this? Well, nothing, unfortunately. And literally. As you continue your work with DEILD's and come to recognize this spasm/erection as a normal factor in your wake/return to sleep process, you will likely give them less thought, and be much less likely to be startled fully awake by them. Indeed, in time your body might adjust to your DEILD intrusions on its programmed sleep cycle, and the spasms might stop happening altogether. In other words, the cure for this issue is experience, I think. So for now just do you best to shrug them off and avoid fully waking up, and in time your DEILD's ought to occur without such incident.
[Sorry for the delay in responding, BTW; I didn't notice your post until just now]
