I had a dream I was on a plane. A totally normal flight. Going in for a landing when things went wrong at the last minute. I swear I could feel the heat of the flames as I saw them coming through the fuselage as the plane is breaking up around me. I woke up on my feet beside my bed sweating. I've never had a dream like that before or since. I've never done drugs or other vices. That was over a decade ago and I can still remember it like it was a real event in my life. Like it was landing in Denver, I was sitting a few rows from the front on the left isle on the emergency exit row.

I used to have a repetitive dream when I was much younger that felt incredibly real. The crux of the dream was always the same, I would fall through a hole in the pavement and I would usually wake up when I hit the bottom. Sometimes it would feel like I was falling for ages. I would always wake with a jolt too.

Dreams about falling are very common. I have read that it usually happens when our body falls asleep after then our mind can comprehend so we get a jerk reaction that wakes us up.

I have also read that sometimes these dreams are due to anxiety.
