I actually think you are dreaming. I notice I get this sometimes, where I feel like I'm dreaming then look at the clock. The only problem is it seems to happen in real time or so, but really when I think back I cannot remember the time passing, which I take to mean I was sleeping, but very lightly and still aware of my surroundings. I would guess it's some kind of prehistoric sense, so you can sleep while still being aware and able to awake easily for predators, while still getting sleep.

That happens to me too. It is kinda freaky. I think what happens is you actually do fall asleep but you are still aware. I have done this a few times, it's like what the hell is going on right now? :) Don't be freaked out, I am sure there are a lot of people that this happens to.

There are different types of brainwaves (electical signals) that ocurr during sleep than in awake periods. During the transition from awake to sleep or vice versa people often are in a dreamy state. From personal experience I have noticed this more when I am either very tired or sick.
If you have more interest search google for brainwaves alpha beta (dreamy=alpha) (awake=beta)

Lucid dream? Or probably day dreaming? Happens to me at school ALL the time. Haha.

I don't know I'm not dreaming as I write this letter. I do know this. I feel REAL pain, and the village idiot is not afraid to err on the side of good, so I'll assume you do to!

this is caused by lack of sleep and a wandering imagination. it can also be (and probably is) because you were in the light edges of sleeping and at the same time were still conscious. it happens to alot of ppl- nothing weird, just that you are sleepy!

Were you on any medication? Or, maybe you were having a lucid dream.
