I'm Falling
Falling dreams is quite common in the world of dreams. Contrary to a popular myth, you will not actually die if you do not wake up before your hit the ground during a fall. Falling dreams typically occur during the first stage of sleep. Dreams in this stage are often accompanied by muscle spasms of the arms, legs, and the whole body. These sudden contractions, also known as myclonic jerks. Sometimes when we have these falling dreams, we feel our whole body jerk or twitch and we awaken from this jerk. It is thought that this jerking action is part of an arousal mechanism that allows the sleeper to awaken and become quickly alert and responsive to possible threats in the environment. According to biblical interpretations, dreams about falling have a negative overtone and suggest that man is acting and walking according to his own way of thinking and not those of the Lord. credits: =rammkitty-stock - falling man ~sumsaexstock - black balloons ~nestrstock - orange & gimme five `FantasyStock - fly fishing ~JusticeStock - girl with a bag *ro-stock - balloon brushes »sxc - [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] Updated 22-12-2008 Thank you so much *gjoa for the suggestion!

I have these kind of dreams all of the time, including the myclonic jerks.... that's interesting about the Biblical interpretation, that's the first time I have heard that. great job Hans, you were able to get the free falling effect across very effectively
