Every time I just swallow and try to go on, that feeling goes away and I feel more awake. I try not to think about it too much, but maybe I am.
Oh, I wasn't aware of that. Well, one thing I can tell you: you can't always trust your instincts in any state beyond waking consciousness, including SP. Just because you are feeling more awake doesn't mean you are. Or thinking doing something will wake you up doesn't mean it will. For example, you may feel that opening your left eye will wake you up. In fact, this isn't correct. It will increase vividness and possibly put you in a new location. Just defy instincts in dreams and you will have better experiences.
