I always thought that you will just start to sleep and get in a dreamstate like you would do normaly as you sleep.
Well, both. When you open your dream eyes, you are already asleep and dreaming. But sometimes you don't realize that, because when you keep your consciousness all the way into the dream, it can be hard to notice when the reality ends and dream starts. In other words, the transition from waking life into dream can be so smooth, that you thinking you are still awake, when in fact you are already asleep and in a dream. That's when you can rely on other clues, like vibrations, sense of falling/flying, or you can suddenly see your room.
