For as long as I can recall I have had very vivid and bizarre dreams that wake me up, yet the dream continues for a short time after I am awake. While my eyes are open and I am aware that I am awake, I still see vividly what I was(am) dreaming. I still feel asleep and often for these types of dreams, I cannot move. I saw a program on TV sometime ago that was very similar if not identical to what I experience. I am curious and fascinated with this and would like to know more about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
