Today i had an experience like this... i was half sleeping, lying on my stomach, and i started to notice my bedrooms floor, where my mattress was on... it was like i was becoming more aware of it, like if it were a part of me, or like i was noticing/percieving it with a part of me... then this perceptions started to create visual thoughts, images in my mind... i concentrated to keep seeing this images, and they became almost like actual images, so i felt almost like if i were actually looking to my bedrooms floor... i could feel there was a difference, because this images, differently the ones from the physical world, required that my attention were focused to exist... it was something like one who wears glasses, then need to look at something without them, and so has to strain the eyes to keep the image focused... i could feel that i had to "strain" a part of me to keep the image in my mind... anyway... i kept "looking" at the floor and noticed even minute details on it, like some small strands of hair, particles like great sand grains, everything that usually was unnoticeably to me but usually made women cringe like "this house is f*cking dirty it needs be vacuumed right now!"...
Then the image changed, and i think i also started to dream, or the dreams mixed with this images, and soon after it i woke up.
This experiences are not so unusual (at least for me)... for this degree of "intensity"/"reality", i usually get them like once or twice a month... if they were less "intense", the frequency is greater, like once/twice in a week... also, i almost always know how is the weather (sunny/cloudy/rainy etc) before fully waking... like when im half sleeping and half conscious before waking i know how it is... and it isnt by the normal vision because i only sleep with my face covered to avoid seeing any outside light... i feel almost like if i were able to percieve/see/whatever how is outside my room while sleeping... like if its walls werent able to hide the outside from view... its very weird. I remember many "dreams" (dont know if they were actuall dreams or something else) where i felt i could actually see the outside "through" my bedrooms walls... or maybe like if i were actually outside and thus seeing the outside as i would see if i were there (probably over the ceiling)...

"And it makes me wonder..." :jointsmile:
