When we think about falling, why does our body feel like we’re falling sometimes?

This happens to me occasionally in bed. I think about falling and my body gives a sort of response to it by making me actually feel like I’m falling. How does this happen?

Also, it’s been shown through brain imaging that reading or saying or even thinking of active verbs (kick, punch, run, etc.) activates the same parts of our brains as doing the activity itself.

The weird part is these same areas do not light up on scans i/r/t passive verbs and abstract ideas, like the variations of “to be” or “to think”.
