Thanks guys.. I can tell you've all got far more info on the subject than me. Like I said before my terminology isn't quite up to scratch. Like I said before I'm just speaking from real experience and whatever catigories that experience may fall under, really I was just looking for anyone who had experienced something similar. (Thank you snoop! . It's something that happens to me when waking, I'll exit the lucid dream and enter real life surroundings. By this I mean my eyes are open. But I'll keep an element of the dream, for example trying to scream soundlessly when I know I don't really need to because I'll know there is no real life threat. So I'll force myself through the screaming to wiggle a finger or toe and boom, I'm out. I always know the dream isn't my waking life. Everyone is different I suppose, and honestly I'm terrible at accurately describing what it is I'm experiencing so any confusion I'm causing here I understand.
