Falling Up

Falling Up

Contrary to a popular myth, you will not actually die if you do not wake up before you hit the ground during a fall. As with most common dream themes, falling is an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties. You are feeling overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life.

Well gee, Wikipedia, that’s kind of boring and rather depressing, if you ask me and as someone who experiences this type of dream say, maybe, two or three-ish times a year ?? I’d rather look at it from a different perspective.

Wait, what ?? what’s that you say ??

This body movement is what doctors and scientists call a hypnic (or hypnagogic) or myoclonic jerk. It’s also known as a “sleep start,” and it can literally startle you out of falling asleep. This type of feeling is normal, and it can happen before people enter the deeper stages of sleep.

Hypnic jerk. Hypnic jerk, also called a boggie jerk, is a normal reaction that can be caused by anxiety, caffeine, a dream, or discomfort of sleeping. A hypnic jerk is the feeling triggered by a sudden muscle twitch, causing the feeling of falling while sleeping or dreaming.

No offense, my friend with all the answers but, SNORE ! ! !  Now will you hush up a second and let me speak, please ??

Think of it as a soul briefly exiting a body, giving that someone a minuscule, amazing glimpse of what is yet to come, a peek into ‘next’, floating freely out and about until ta-da !! bonk !! welcome back  ♥

Now doesn’t that sound a million times more fascinating and thrilling and cosmically wonderful than what you’re informing, Wiki ??
