I've heard of these! (And they are myoclonic -- myo = muscle + clonic = turmoil.)
I have them all the time while dozing, and sometimes when I am still conscious enough to know that it is just a muscle jerk. When I am dozing, yes, they usually become part of a story (my specialty is tripping down stairs). When my brain is still basically awake, I just go, "huh, weird" and roll over.
I did not know that the story-izing is retroactive, but the speed at which dreams happen (for me, usually 500% faster than real life), it does not surprise me.
