Jolted awake every night.

[Peter_C]

I didn't know where to put this but since I'm jolted awake that maybe could qualify it for nightmare.

ok, so every single night with out fail, with in the first 5 mins i've fallen asleep I have this very short dream. I'm walking/skateboarding/running/rollerblading/doing anything that requires to move my momentum forward and suddenly I trip. My legs kick and I'm jolted away. Any clue into this? This dream runs around 2 seconds long.

Hi Peter,
It is quite normal! A lot of people have dreams like that in some form or other. Some hear knocks, some hear their name called, I usually have some part of my body jolt, and sometime hear a knock or a voice.
It is the process of going to sleep! Parts of the body relax at different rates and the one left behind catches up with a jolt.
