In the mornings, my girlfriend always calls me at about 7:40am before she goes to work (I don't have to get up for work till a bit later ). However, when we're talking, I sometimes find myself falling in and out of sleep, but the sleep seems like reality. This results in me sometimes awaiting an answer from my girlfiend, when I have only asked the question in my sleep, or answering a question in reality, that has been asked by her in my sleep. Sometimes the conversation continues in my dream, only for me to wake up to "are you there?" or sometimes silence.

The dreams I have during this period feel ridiculously real, so much that it is sometimes hard to determine when I have actually dozed off, and when I am actually talking to my girlfriend in reality.

If I could induce this same dream/reality feeling (preferably not when talking to/annoying my girlfriend!), is this the first step to possibily inducing a lucid dream, or is this just me being lazy in the morning?

Cheers
