Could you explain it more? |

When I'm in bed trying to sleep, most of the time, I slip into a state where I feel awake, yet at the same time, I'm dreaming, like my body is awake, but my mind isn't. I know what's happening in the dream, but I can't see it, and I'm half-aware of outside influences, like the fan. |

Oh, okay. When I lay, trying to sleep, it's like I start daydreaming, only it's a little more vivid than than. It's more vivid than any normal daydream, but less vivid than a normal dream. It's like I'm half awake, I feel my body there in bed, but my mind is somewhere else. Oh, if it helps, I'm always on my back when this happens |

Well, there is such a thing called hypnic jerk. That's when you falling asleep and your legs jerk, as if you tripped and you are trying to recover, or as if you fell from somewhere, and that wakes you up. Maybe with you it's accompanied with some short dream or some other visual? |
|
Strange, though, I don't notice my legs jerking when it happens. |

I think you are refering to hypnagogic imagery. When you relax for some time and focus on your thoughts and daydream they will after some time be very random and for me this is basically dreaming but in N-REM (not sure if it is that though). At first it's random and you can for a few seconds percieve a vivid scene, by seeing, hearing and sometimes feeling. |
|
So, continue to let it happen and see what kind of dreams I have afterwards? I could try that. |
|
What I would do in that situation, would be to just continue daydreaming until it automatically become that half vivid state again, because when you do that, you are actually consciously sleeping. |
