Waking up with dream symptoms?

Okay, so I don't think this was a lucid dream. If it was, I was barely lucid. But today I was eating something, and in real life my throat is super weak so I have a lot of problems swallowing (it's symptoms of my disease), and it was happening in the dream. Well, when I woke up, I felt like I still had the lump of food stuck in my throat. It went away after a few seconds, but it was still weird.

Maybe I was still half-asleep. Or maybe it was just a wad of snot or something, I don't know. But has anyone else woken up experiencing what your dream self was experiencing? (Nothing sick. I know you can wake up experiencing that)

I know exactly what you're saying.

More weird is opening the eyes while dreaming...It's strange to type in words what happen...

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Several times I've woken up and started doing things like stroking what I thought was a cat, but in reality it was just air, or trying to read text that wasn't really there. This happens because you are still susceptible to hypnagogic imagery while so close to sleep.

You mean like closing your eyes in a dream and then opening them again? Or like...waking your real life body while you're still dreaming? O_O

I opened my real eyes while dreaming in the beginning of a lucid dream...

Unintentionally....

I saw the 2 worlds at the same time, but it was like the dream vision was bubbles of colours, images, liquid previous solid things floating in the real space....

But in that i wasn't feeling my real body, i was feeling my dream body, and the dream, but i don't know why,i opened my real eyes, i saw my mother and then closed it and continued the dream....

But i just don't know how to explain this for sure...

Whoa! That'd be intense! In a sort of freaky way!
