What do you call those dreams where you wake up lurching forward,

Question

like if you have a dream that you fall or something and just before or right when you hit, you wake up moving or shaking.

Do those dreams have a name?

Does it mean anything if you get those all the time?

Because I have about 4 of those a week,

always something like riding a bike and falling off and waking up jumping forward. Just really random stuff like that.

Answer 3

Psychologists have the theory that our neurons fire up when we fall in our dreams. I don't know the name. I don't think they came up with it. It's funny how we always wake up and never experience the fall in our dreams. Odd

Answer 4

its called a nightmare
