Thread: Strange experience

I used to get a similar phenomenon when I was younger, where I'd wake up from a nightmare and still hear the dream for up to 5 seconds after. It was horrible really, felt like the nightmare had followed me into real life!

Did a little bit of research, and the closest thing i can find is a state between awake and still asleep like SP, this is quite obvious though. So i would say the things we see is hypnagogia that still takes on part of the dream on a quite high vivid level, if that makes any sense? But it's interesting that there is no vibrations, paralysis or any of that kind. Not sure if this is helpfull or not..
