Answer 1

One time I dreamt I was falling, and when I woke up, I woke up in mid-air because I had just rolled off the side of the top bunkbed in my sleep.  Most painful wake up EVER.  Funny though.

Answer 2

Yes, that happens to me sometimes. You probably just had a nightmare. It's okay, it's very common. It happens to some of my friends too. I don't think there's anyway to stop it...but no worries, it's completley normal.

Answer 3

A few times I've dreamt that I'm running or something and I trip and then I wake up and brace myself for the fall.

Answer 4
