So I’m about to snooze when all of a sudden before I drift off it feels like I missed a stair in my bed and I start to fall until I’m forcefully woken up by the shock. Like, WTH?! It’s not like a dream where you fall off a skyscraper, it’s more like before you start to dream when it happens.
While I’m not an expert on this topic at all, I’m a biologist, and as far as I know there’s no clear, universal answer for that.
I shared that theory because it’s easy to understand and it makes the most sense to me.
