Some nights, when I am lying in bed and beginning to drift off, I get the sudden feeling that my body is falling forward, as though from a great height. I am generally startled and my heart is racing. Do you ever experience this feeling of falling? What causes this feeling?

This happens to me once in a while I don't know why but at the time I am scared and not sure why I'm so scared. Then it will take a few minutes to get over it then I'm back to sleep again :P
I don't know what causes it but you could have been dreaming. I also suffer from panic disorder but I don't know if that would have any effect on it.

I tend to have this feeling too but instead of falling forward from a great height, it was me tripping on something. For what causes this, I don't know.
