I was lying down, fell asleep, and had a dream. In the dream, I knew I was sleeping, so I told myself to wake up. It was like I was half-sleeping, half-awake cause I can see what is around me, hear stuffs not loudly, but like mumbles. I tried to move my arm, but it didn't. I focused all my energy on it, but it didn't move. I kept trying to move my body, and suddenly I was fully awake and able to move. I can remember the exact feeling of how it was like. I experimentes a few times, like I fell asleep on purpose, told myself to wake up, and go through the same process again. It's weird. Can someone tell me what it is?

Well, Bruno, I went to Wikipedia, and you are right about the fact that I knew I was dreaming and had out-of body experience.
Also, when I was half- asleep, half- awake, all my senses(hearing, sight , smell, touch, and taste) were hazy. I didn't smell, ffeel, and taste anything, obvoiusly, but my hearing and sight seemed to be functioning 50%.

Also, when I saw scary movies at night when I was a child, I usually had scary nightmares after. In the nightmare, I would see frightening gory images, and in the dream, I would close my eyes, but it was like I never closed it. I would turn away, cover my eyes, but I would still see. That is when I realized this was a nightmare, and told myself to wake. I didn't wake up, and I still tried to close my eyes in the nightmare, but it didn't. I was terribly scared for a brief moment when I woke up finally.

Hello mate, you expereinced what is known as a lucid dream. They are common and you can in-fact train your sleeping habbits and sleeping mentality in order to expereince lucid dreams more often as a good gateway to your mind's subconsciousness to provide you with relevant and often insighful expereinces into problems/questions/issues in your life.
To find out more on lucid dreaming type in lucid dreams into wikipedia and it has a comprehensive article into the phenomena.
sincerely
bruno.

Well in my opinion since the same things happened to me multiple times is that your no fully asleep. You may think you are, but really your not. It happens to me like every other night or so.

its a natural phenomena; part of the brain shuts down the motor cortex so you dont jump around in response to dreams you can wake up independant of reactivation of the motor cortex
