if you'd fell out of a plane...the last thing you'd be worried about is walking, in fact you'd not be worrying about anything 

Yes i hit the bottom when falling in a dream, had such a jerk, but im still alive... i think 

I'd be worrying about when I hit the ground, but hey......that's just me 

that's on the way down...the heart attack would have killed me by then 

i hate that falling dream, but ive never hit the floor.  I went through a really mental period of dreams once and i cut my skull off in one of them it was very strange.

Dreams are supposed to be a re-construction of past events when you thought of things that could happen. Take them with a pinch of salt - they are re-constructions of things that we recently thought of or maybe happen in the future, derived from things that we have seen in the past. The brain is a massive computer that stores info to surprise us when we least expect it or amaze us when we wake up to something that we never thought about previously.   Memory is something none of us( even scientists will ever understand).

Jonesy, why do you laugh/smile though? I'm sure it's real to the person going through it.  I think a little compassion is called for here  

I've never hit the bottom in a falling dream but I do regularly dream that I'm walking along the street and am very close to the edge of the pad and I slip and stumble off the pad.  I don't fall down but I am off the pad and it always wakes me in that split second with a big jolt.  Hate those dreams because they seem to only happen at the beginning of my sleep stages.

I dreamt I was dating William Shatner once.  He was quite a gentle lover..if a little free and easy with his teleporter.

I lived to tell the tail.

I've never hit the bottom ..........but- I've had my bottom hit more than a few times.

I don't think I've hit the bottom as described but sometimes I get a jolt that wakes me when I'm asleep 

 eh? 

lol

Hopefully in a nice way

Class.  Conclusive proof that cigarettes maketh the man.

Slightly dubious Nazi salute at 2.25 but the interpretive dance at 3.50 more than makes up for it.

 Freudian...

i also had a very lucid dream once of drowning. I was only young, about 11 or so, but i remember it as clear as day. In this dream i was struggling and a hand was darting into the water trying to grab my hand as i was sinking. In the end i decided it was too much like hard work and relaxed and watched the hand. And in my dream i remember thinking , this is what drowning must really be like. 

it was dead peaceful and a very strange dream

I very often (twice a week or more) have dreams where I'm choking - I'm often swallowing something that I know will get lodged in my throat but I can't cough it up .....................I wake up coughing and spluttering!

Do you think my husband is trying to kill me whilst I'm asleep?

noooooo i get that too soozy i often dream im choking on a pin or a sausage and i wake up screaming and saying 'no no no this time i really did swallow it' its mental. I think its anxiety. Im sure ive googled that before.

Thanks Blizzie.  That Shatner vid is hilarious! 

I hate those dreams that seem so real that you're afraid when you wake up. I know exactly what you mean Crunchy.

How funny - my experience is exactly the same in that I think OMG - this time it's real - it's not a dream.

Last week I was choking on a 'set square' - why on earth would I be dreaming of a 'set square'
