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

Lucid Dreaming or Sleep paralysis is more common than people think. When part of your brain is conscious and another part is still sleeping. It can happen from lack of sleep or lack of good sleep. Some people see someone in their room. Some are awake but can't move. Some have detailed realistic dreams like you had.
