Half-way between?

This happened to me some time ago, but I was dreaming that I was in the bathroom outside my room, and looking at myself in the mirror, but the way I saw myself in the mirror started to freak me out, and I realized I was dreaming. I still felt really panicked, and then I was trying to wake myself up, but I couldn't. I started thrashing around trying to wake up, while I was still in the dream, in the bathroom and I fell to my knees on the floor, but what I was feeling was my body thrashing in my bed, which freaked me out even more.

Eventually I was able to wake up, but it was really freaky seeing one reality and feeling another, because the senses didn't match up.

Has anyone else has similar experiences, half-way between dreaming and waking?

Yes I have done this several times. Most recently, in a LD i couldn't see so I tried really hard to open my eyes and opened my real eyes. I closed my real eyes super fast and I could feel my real body and my dream body just feet away, at the same time. I thought it was awesome!

Wow, that definitely sounds interesting.
Do you try to accomplish things like this consciously? Or does it just happen by chance?

Wow, that sounds pretty intense. Have you had any other experiences like that? It would be really awesome if you could calm yourself down during one of those dreams, and see what happens. Though, I can imagine that would be tough. I can see how that would be freaky.

Yeah, that's the only experience I've had like that...
But it seems like it would be interesting if you could maintain that kind of state, or where you're in your dream body and real body at the same time...

Though that sounds like it would be really difficult.

Yes I think it would be difficult to maintain but possible. I was more worried about loosing my LD so I was sure to ignore my real body and use deepening techniques with my dream body. It really was amazing to feel 2 bodies at the same time though.
