Does that post come across as frantic to anybody else? I think it might be the lack of periods. There is only one when there should be about five. Please put some effort into your posts.

Lol, I get those all the time right before I'm about to fall asleep, but for some reason I always seem to think I'm at the top of a roller coaster (right before the drop), and when I realize I'm not my whole body jumps... Startles the shit out of me.

I think I agree with Redifin. Your body thinks it's standing up. When this happens to me I'm usaually walking and I'll like step off a curb or miss a step or something then when I try to catch myself in my dream my body will wake up trying to do the same. It freaks out my gf. Smile

Robert Bruces' explanation for this, in his book Astral Dynamics, discusses the astral body and its jolt back to the physical body. When you are 'dreaming' having an OBE during regular sleep which you are not concious of, and you encounter a potentially threatening experience, such as missing a step on a set of stairs, falling off a cliff, or what have you, the astral body is YANKED back to the physical body. when it reenters you jolt awake to make sure your physical body is still ok. this can also happen if you are concious and physical body starts to fall asleep to enter an OBE, the sudden rush of vertigo tricks your subconcious into thinking your falling and you have to jolt awake to get a grip on reality. im not 100% sure if i correctly restated his thoughts, they may have been intertwined with my own, but thats what i have come to believe.
