In both of the original examples (thunderclap, door slam) there were
potentially at least a few seconds of warning (lightning flash, footsteps).

Even the famous example of someone during the French Revolution whose
headboard fell on him just as he dreamed of being guillutined [sp] might
be explained this way (e.g. creaking as the headboard was about to
break), though Freud explained it as a subconcious fantasy brought to
the surface by the falling headboard.

There are many things that have been incorporated into my dreams at
times that show that some part of me is still keenly aware of my
surroundings.
