I don't know if there is a name for it or not. But I think it happens before the Delta stage of sleep. That's the stage where you dream. However before that there is a period of sleep that as you say you're half-way conscience and after that you drift into the delta stage. I know a little about this since I've been treated for sleep apnea. Before the treatment I would hardly ever get to the Delta stage, so I might wake up throughout the night and sometimes get that terrible feeling where you know you are asleep but can't seem to wake yourself up.

It has the poetically beautifull name of "stage one" sleep.

That is called a night terror. It is completely harmless.
