I'm just wondering if anyone has every heard of this, and if they know what it is. Before I ever heard about lucid dreaming, I have several times woken up in the middle of the night, totally aware of myself, my surroundings, and that I am awake, and hallucinated several people standing in my room looking at me. I thought they were real people for a while, but finally realized they're not really there and they go away.

This has happened to me twice after I've smoked cannabis earlier in the day, and once with no help of any substance.

My brother also told me that he experienced it once.
