I get the doorbell too, super weird.

Headcanon: Cortisol spike right before you wake up. Brain goes, "something must have alarmed me", and cooks up phenomena: loud noise, feeling of falling/tripping, etc.

Funny, that happened to me just this morning, I awoke from some kind of alarm signal, very close by. But I could not find any possible source for it, so I am sure it was part of a dream. In fact I forgot about it until now.

About the second thing, I have felt something similar. Especially the part about it originating around the collar bone and neck. It's probably something like a nerve misfiring. I sometimes think it's weird that the body doesn't misbehave more often than it does, it's an enormously complex system after all.

Possibly. Or a pinched nerve.

I don't think it is a cosmic ray, or it wouldn't always occur in the same part of the body. ;0)

Indeed.

I get the someone pounding on the door at night thing, wakes me out of a heavy sleep. Never anyone actually knocking.

Hypnogogic and hypnopompic auditory hallucinations occur when you are falling asleep or waking up, so it might be something different if it is happening if you are in deep sleep. (not an expert on this)
