When I'm sleeping, sometimes I feel like I'm falling. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Not that exactly, but sometimes I feel like my bed is spinning.
 
This happens with everyone. This situation is known as a hypnic jerk. The popular theory goes that your brain misinterprets the muscle relaxation of going to sleep as a falling sensation. To save you from this, your brain jolts you awake with this reflex.
 
After spending a great portion of the day swimming, I would sometimes feel like I'm in water when I'm lying in bed.

I haven't swimmed into a pool for months :(
 
True story: Once I had a dream that I was falling...

And I woke up right before I hit the ground in the dream...to myself, mid air, falling from the top bunk of my bunkbed...


Fortunately there was nothing on the floor at the time.

True story.
 
There was this one time when I was like, half-asleep, when I got the sudden sensation of having been smacked square in the gut with something like a wooden beam, or a shovel, or whatever other blunt object (without the pain that would normally go along with something like that). No, there was no one else in the room, and nothing actually fell on me.

Anyway, happened only once, and creeped me out quite a bit.

I wouldn't like to have that sensation.
 
Sometimes I dream I'm running and I trip, so I wake up right before I smash my face into the concrete. Other times I dream I'm fall
