so I’ve never attempted to do any type of lucid dreaming and honestly, I don’t really want to nor do I have interest in doing anything like that. I just had an experience where I was getting really tired at about 12:30 AM and so I started falling asleep, but I have really bad insomnia and so I was like half asleep for the next two hours apparently but in my dream, I was also trying to fall asleep at the same time but couldn’t end up falling asleep and I remember it being about 4 AM in my dream but then I woke up and it was 2:30 AM in real life? It was really fucking creepy like half my memories are of me tossing and turning and switching YouTube videos in real life and then the other half of my memories are from me trying to fall asleep in my dream and tossing and turning really really weird. What’s that called?

So just as the title says. I remember getting super tired out about 1230 and I half remember tossing and turning in real life but I was also half in a dream state where I was trying to sleep and it was like 4 AM in my dream so I have half memories of that that is the wildest thing I ever felt in my dream I was tossing and turning till like 4 AM where I eventually just got up. And then I woke up actually and it was 2:30 AM. What is that?
