When my BF first falls asleep...within the first 15 minutes I'd say...he will jerk out of bed or sit up very fast and make a gasping frightened sound like he's scared to death. I can't be near him when he's dozing off for fear he'll hit me with his arm. He says he has no recollection of a dream but it's like he's scare to death having a nightmare. Some times he was actually run from the bed and stands by the door...it scares the heck out of me when this happens. What does this sound like to you guys? :confused:

It could possibly be hypogogic hallucinations. Sometimes when falling asleep people will jerk from some kind of half-asleep dream.
