I am sure many of you have had this experience before, even though it may be rare and easily forgottten sometimes.

I am talking about while you are lying perfectly down on your bed while trying to sleep or get a nap, and your mind drifts off to sort of like a dream-state where you feel like you are half asleep and half awake.. then all of a sudden "boom" you feel like you have fallen a few storeys down onto the floor.. even though you are still in the same spot - lying perfectly still on the bed.

Not sure whether you get what I am trying to say, but for those of you whom have similar experiences before, why does this actually happen?

I agree, you are being quickly pulled back into your body....thus the falling sensation, as your conscious mind comes back into control. This will usually only happen as you are floating between wakefulness and sleep.
