- When I am "falsely awake like that", I don't recognize it at first, but then
- something "wrong" or "scary" happens and I realize where I am. I too am
- paralized in that state. I tell myself "you're not awake yet! you're not
- awake yet!" and that pulls me into real consiousness. After I do get fully
- consious, I feel really spent, but it wears off quickly.
-
- Sometimes when I am *really* tired, I sleep for about 1/2 hour, and I start
- dreaming right away after I fall asleep. Usually the dream is a very intense
- one, but I wake up and go to sleep as usual. Anyone else have this experience?
