Viral Skit Captures Universal Experience of Waking Up From Falling Dreams
A recent viral video by content creator MEGAN.T, known as megz.t, has sparked widespread discussion by humorously depicting the universal experience of waking up abruptly from a dream of falling. Uploaded on May 31, 2023, the short six-second clip captures the creator's transition from peaceful sleep to a sudden, wide-eyed gasp, mimicking the jolt often felt when one "hits the ground" in a dream. The video, tagged with #comedy and #relatable, resonates with many who have experienced this common nocturnal phenomenon, known scientifically as a hypnic jerk. One viewer commented, "fuckin terrifying 😭," while another noted, "that myth, you hit the ground, you die; is not true. you just hurt your hands off the wall or bedpost but you don't half hit it hard." This shared experience of a sudden awakening from a falling dream continues to be a subject of both scientific curiosity and popular culture, as evidenced by the video's engagement.
