I start dreaming before I'm asleep, and my dreams are extraordinarily in depth, at times feeling as though they last entire alternate lifetimes. This means that often when I'm woken up, I'm utterly confused as it takes me some time to realise that I've been dreaming - and often my mind will still be feeding me the dream on a lower level, making me wonder why I'm being asked to do weird things like 'wake up' or 'roll over' or what 'you're stealing all the duvet' means in the context of the dream I've just been brought out of. Sometimes this works the other way too, where I am awake, but I can hear voices and think thoughts of a dream, but still be dimly aware that I'm still conscious.
