Sometimes when my Yorkie is laying around she jumps up, yelps and takes off running. Any ideas why?

Question

This is the weirdest thing. This happens just at random times. Nothing is going on. No one is bothering her. She just literally jumps up and cries out and takes off! Once she has moved away she seems to be fine and nothing else happens...until the next event. It happens about once a day.

my yorkie does this all the time- usually she is having a dream and wakes up suddenly.  Sometimes its like she just scares herself and jumps up
