YES

Yes, something in my dream has been related to something before in real life. I was bounicing on my bed in my dream (not to be confused with jumping, just me JERKING up and down KNEELING on my bed), and I woke up, and was breathing hard. My chest was moving. The part before that wasn't that scary, I was just calling my mom, and she wasn't coming.

Yeah what snow egypt said, a hypnic jerk.

I have those feelings sometimes... and I kinda hate it.

At the same time, I think it's kind of cool.

Like I have some kind of dream where I'm falling or just drifiting to sleep then suddenly, WHAM, and I'm like woah...

When I fly in dreams, I get the rollercoaster feeling in my stomach when I go up and down in the air. I also tend to inhale to get myself higher and exhale to go lower...I think that comes from being a scuba diver.

i get it a lot and once i actually fell off the bed like i woke up in mid air and a second later i was on the ground it was intense

Sometimes I'll be dreaming that I'm eating something like a cheeseburger or pizza, and when I wake up I'll be grabbing for it. Sometimes even hallucinating and seeing the food for a few seconds. =D

Then I'm hungry and can't go back to sleep until I eat.

Gah...Had one in the middle of Statistics this afternoon. I managed to pass it off as something stabbing me in the back, but still embarrassing nonetheless. Somehow I knew it was going to happen because I was trying for the life of me not to fall asleep in class... -___-
