I was recently on a backpacking trip and encountered a strange phenomenon that I've never heard of before. I was transitioning out of a dream and found myself in a zone that was entirely white. Nothing too special about that, however, I was able to hear everything that going on outside my tent. I hear birds chirping and frogs croaking. I was able to think consciously, but with the influence of my groggy state, the thoughts were ridiculous.

I was trying to wake my friend up and ask for his slingshot so I could kill the frogs and eat them for breakfast (Not something I've ever done, or plan on doing. I was in a weird state). The problem was that I was stuck in this plane of white, unable to move or make a sound. I couldn't wake myself up.

I went through an absurd dream that must have been how I imagined it was outside, where I was attacked by a frog (which was more like a Lizard or something) that would leap and me and then I kept punching it away. I was able to feel everything, but what bothered me was that I could hear what was really going on and I knew it was a dream.

Anyone familiar with this sort of experience, where one or more senses are awake while the body is still asleep?
