Fake Falling

I happened to be drifting off to sleep thinking about how I went on a work conference last year back to my home city. So I decided to do the touristy thing and go up the sky tower which I had never done before. And I remembered what it was like to stand on the glass panels and see the city bustling between my feet many metres below. I remembered how it's just a "mind over matter" thing and the glass is so thick it would never break. Then I thought about what it would be like if it did break... What it would feel like to plummet toward the earth.

At that precise moment one of the slats under my bed popped out of it's socket (which gives both the loud banging noise and a sudden sensation of falling {even if only a few centimetres}). What a fright! I bolted awake. Weird coincidence or black swan event?
