It's not exactly a nightmare but I hate that very short dream where I see+feel that I'm falling then wake up. Mostly happens as I "fall" asleep, like literally. Lol

@SW-User Interesting that you dream of falling when you are falling asleep. Have to wonder if there is a connection.

I’ve read they’re called [i]hypnic jerks[/i] or [i]sleep starts[/i] and they’re fairly common. I too wonder if this is the reason why it’s called *falling* asleep in English. @Ontheroad
