Hm. I'm not sure what that's called. I know what you mean, though. Sometimes the most solid LDs I have are during the time when I'm awake and asleep.

Apparently I also do strange things during that time, too. Like, when my ex used to ask me "hon, where are my keys?" I would (while still asleep) get up out of bed, walk to the exact place where he'd left his keys, pick them up, hand them to him, kiss him goodbye and tell him to have a nice day at work. I would then crawl back into bed and not remember a damn thing until he told me about it later. Another time, he asked what someone's phone number was because he couldn't remember it. In my half-sleep/half-waking state (which, in my opinion is still sleeping, just another level), I rattled off the number. What was more shocking was that it was the correct number!

But anyway, before I digress too much, I really don't know what that state is called or why LDs seem to be so much more controllable (is that a word? It is now).
