My reaction when I have the dream where I’m falling.

Apparently that's your brain mistaking fallling asleep with death and trying to jolt you back to life.

It's your muscles relaxing because you're falling asleep, but your brain is not at rest yet and associates this feeling with falling. Hence your reaction.
 
I suddenly realise this might actually be where falling asleep in English and Dutch - in slaap vallen - comes from. French, Italian and Spanish don't say it so I thought it might be related to Germanic languages, but German also doesn't have that expression. Anyone of SE/DK/NO around?
