Ah, so that explains it. I ended up snapping myself out of it about 4-5 times, each time I had a shortness of breath afterwards which felt awkward. I was so focused on trying to remind myself that I should record my dreams that I possibly stopped myself from having a WILD. I'll have to make sure next time to let myself just continue to drift off and enjoy what is happening.

I do occasionally notice this when I am going to bed normally, but I always just write it off as me thinking too much before going to sleep and I wake myself out of it and reposition myself in my bed.
