Quite often this happens to me: I am dreaming in an often semi-lucid fashion, and false awake. I'm in the area I sleep, and usually feel kinda anxious. I may roll around tirelessly on the ground, fall off my bed, or have weird twitches in my legs that build on the anxiety all still within my false awakening.

Then I go back to sleep in the dream, believing that I can control my dream. I feel I am having a very conscious driven dream, all the while aware of where I am and that I am dreaming, only to actually awake later and realize I was not controlling my dream, but that my dream self was controlling it's dream... Generally I just feel messy in my head afterwards.


This experience is often recurring. Does anyone else experience something like this? I find it sort of stressful and tiring, if not confusing.
