I think just the thought of you falling, rushes your adrenaline... giving you that "high" feeling... and yes I have heard of people controlling their dreams, and I myself have never been able to control them... i have had dreams of falling too but for some odd reason i never see myself fall, just wake up right before I hit the ground....

In the waking world the neuron-system inhibits the activation of the vividness of memories. This makes evolutionary sense. It’d be maladapted for the perceptual image of a predator to be mistaken for the memory of one and vice-versa. If the memory of a predator conjured up a perceptual image, we’d be running to the bathroom every time we had a scary though. So you have these serotonic neurons that inhibit hallucination, that they themselves are inhibited during REM sleep. This allows dreams to appear real while preventing competition from other perceptual processes. This is why dreams are mistaken for reality. To the functional system of neural activity that creates the world we perceive, there is no difference between dreaming a perception and an action, and actually the waking perception and action.
Look up DMT. It is the drug the pineal gland secretes during dreams and when a person dies.

a death wish maybe...thrill seeking...safe in the knowledge that you won't really die in a dream...or you're just bent that way. different strokes for different folks. at least your high is free, not subject to law and there when you want/need it.
i don't judge i just listen.
