Is it normal? say i have a dream/nightmare about falling off a high place and then my body jumps and i wake up. is that my body reacting to the nightmare because i have a fear of heights or something else?

That is normal. It has happened to me often. I think what it is, is that your body just relaxes so much when you dream of falling you naturally would tense up take the impact so you jump and wake up.

Same here. Jack in a box and the paralysis...

one time I woke up and couldn't move and it scared the living daylights out of me..

then I googled it and found out it was normal.

I had that when my cousin died... It's usually caused by a sence or feeling of helplessness or sorrow, like a passing relative or friend or even being in jail.
