have you ever been awake while dreaming?

I swear this just happened to me yesterday

I dreamed that I was diagnosed with terminal cancer and everything felt so real.

like I was in my room, but the people telling me were standing right over me- close enough I could feel their breath

soon as I rolled over, they were gone- and I was just left in a dark room crying, wondering what comes next?

it was really scary- not just the dream itself, but the feeling of being awake for it

Could you have been half asleep? So you start dreaming while still being a bit awake.

Or, sometimes I've had daydreams that I got so carried away with that I feel whatever emotion I'd be feeling if it really happened and when I "wake up" from the daydream it's a bit of a shock that none of that really happened. Maybe that's what happened to you.
