Even
dreaming
can't
escape
the
pain Do
you
ever
have
dreams
that
are
so
intense
that
they
feel
real?
Dreams
where
you
are
falling,
or
being
chased,
or
fighting
someone?
And
then
suddenly,
you
wake
up
with
a
jolt,
heart
racing
and
gasping
for
air?
It's
an
eerie
feeling,
isn't
it?
And
yet,
for
some
people,
even
this
isn't
the
worst
part
of
it. Imagine
dreaming
that
you
are
the
hero
of
an
action
movie,
fighting
your
way
through
hordes
of
bad
guys.
You
are
dodging
bullets
and
throwing
punches,
feeling
invincible.
And
then,
suddenly,
in
the
middle
of
a
fight,
you
get
hit.
Except,
it's
not
just
a
dream
hit.
It's
a
real
hit.
Someone
has
punched
you
in
the
face.
You
wake
up,
heart
racing,
but
this
time
there's
a
sharp
pain
in
your
jaw
as
well.
This
is
what
it's
like
for
some
people
who
suffer
from
a
condition
known
as
"sleep
start". Sleep
start
is
a
type
of
sleep
disorder
where
people
experience
sudden
muscle
contractions,
often
accompanied
by
vivid
dreams.
It's
also
known
as
hypnic
jerk,
because
it
usually
happens
as
you're
falling
asleep,
during
the
hypnagogic
state.
For
most
people,
these
jerks
are
harmless
and
don't
actually
wake
them
up.
But〔阅读更多 生肖内容请关注 :星座谷,wWw.xINgzuoGU.cC』〗
for
some,
the
jerks
are
violent
enough
to
cause
them
to
wake
up
with
a
start,
and
sometimes
even
injure
themselves. It's
not
entirely
clear
what
causes
sleep
start,
but
it's
thought
to
be
related
to
our
nervous
system's
working
during
sleep.
Normally,
our
muscles
are
paralyzed
during
sleep
to
prevent
us
from
acting
out
our
dreams.
But
in
some
cases,
the
paralysis
is
incomplete,
and
our
bodies
still
react
to
the
dream
stimuli.
This
can
result
in
sudden
jerks
and
sometimes
even
full-blown
movements. Unfortunately,
there's
not
much
that
can
be
done
to
treat
sleep
start.
For
most
people,
it's
just
an
annoying
inconvenience.
But
for
some,
the
pain
and
disruption
to
sleep
can
be
quite
severe.
If
you
or
someone
you
know
suffers
from
sleep
start,
it's
worth
speaking
to
a
doctor
about
it
to
see
if
there
are
any
options
for
managing
the
condition. In
the
meantime,
just
remember
that
even
dreaming
can't
always
be
a
respite
from
pain.
Our
bodies
are
complex
and
sometimes
unpredictable,
and
we
just
have
to
learn
to
live
with
the
quirks
they
throw
at
us.
Sweet
dreams
–
or
as
sweet
as
they
can
be,
anyway.
