Last night, I decided to try MILD for the first time. At some point my dream faded to black and I told myself: "this is a dream."

The problem was: I couldn't see anything. If I opened my eyes, I would wake up. I could hear sounds of people talking but could barely make anything out. In the dream, I was standing but when I woke up, I was in bed.

Was I dreaming or just awake and half-asleep, thinking I was dreaming?
