That sounds familiar.
I actually lashed out one hand the one night to grab a hold of something to stop myself.
I heard a very groggy voice respond, “THAT is NOT a handle.”
Imagine having to explain to someone who falls asleep very easily that you suffer insomnia, and experience the feeling of falling every now and then when dropping off to sleep.
Even better is when you’ve just fallen asleep, and dream you’re falling, repeatedly.
Falling down stairs, elevator shafts, off cliffs, down embankments.. etc.
Those would no doubt be the same stairs, cliffs, embankments, etc., that I “fall” off of...yep...same dream, alright.
