Here are some interesting insights into why we yawn and why we twitch just before falling asleep. A doctor told me once that the twitch could be genetic. I tendedc to believe him as my siblings reported a similar instances as also my children. This study seems to implicate caffeine.
Unfortunately all in our family are fond of coffee/tes at all times. So, the jury is still out for me. ☕ ☕

    Have you experienced any twitch while in dream state. Usually such a dream ends with the sensation of falling from a height. Just before collision one experiences a twitch leading to the end of the dream.
    Furthermore , has anybody experienced death while dreaming ? I never have. The dream usually ends before death occurs in it.

    Dreams, they love me and they use to visit me quite often and not skeptical, I've experienced what you have said(but it'll last only for 2 seconds(max).) #-Link-Snipped-# Some say ghosts do it to us. 😖

    #-Link-Snipped-# Sir, I've no habit of coffee or tea but I still twitch!
