Mind In Dreamland & False Awakenings?

**MobianAngel** · 01-31-2016 05:50 AM

I really do not know the best title to give this but I've have been meaning to ask about something. Lately, I have been waking up from dreams and my mind is still attached to the idea that I am dreaming. It's strange that I've been feeling like this and this feeling happens automatically.

Every little sound startles me as I begin to believe that something is about to fly through the walls of my house and appear, as such things are common in my dreams. But I never think about stuff like that throughout the day. There is also a weird luminous glow sometimes throughout my house in the few moments of awakening as if it's the same glow I encounter in dreams.

Not that I am frightened, I'm just curious as if there is some significance to this. I of course did my reality checks concluding that I was indeed awake.

Also, I never really paid attention to this but I can remember myself *visually* filling up ice cube trays and placing the nail pick for unlocking doors in various places, but of course no such things I have memories of doing actually happened in the waking world. I'm wondering if such things that occurred in my dreams but I treat them as if I actually done them in the waking state relates to false awakening.

Any ideas would be most appreciated~

If you just wake up and feel like you are stil in a dream, as I understood, it's not a false awakening, it's just that your brain is stil in the processing of waking up I guess.

False awakenings is when you think you are waking up, but actually you are dreaming about waking up, which doesn't sound like your story here.

Ah, I see. Thanks

I've had some dreams get cataloged as actual events before, usually something menial like you described. Also, it isn't uncommon to actually have hallucinations of things for a few seconds when you just wake up, sometimes they can be pretty vivid too.

Yeah, I recall one time I woke up starring at a nail on the wall, and I was 100% sure it was a little spider walking slowly, and not until I stood up I realized it was just a nail.
