I agree with imj. This sounds like a non-rem lucid dream. I get this kind of dream all the time when my timing is off for my WILD. Especially when I take Galantamine. For example, if I wake naturally (immediately after a midnight REM stage), take some GM, and immediately return to sleep, I can be stuck in this zone for 30 minutes or an hour. I will be in a light, daydream like sleep, with very vivid imagery. No matter what I do, I can't fully enter the dream. It never fully materializes. It is just very vivid and engrossing hallucinations while I am still aware of my body. Normally, this will continue until REM kicks in, at which point there will be a secondary transition with the traditional vibrations, sleep paralysis, ect. If I can ride it out, I can end up in a more vivid lucid dream.
Remember, you can be lucid in any stage of sleep. With practice, you can remain aware throughout your entire nights sleep. REM is obviously the most satisfying for dreaming, but the other stages offer interesting meditation and trance-induction opportunities.
