I have heard of this half asleep thing happening to a lot of people, but this is the first time it happened to me, so it was quite interesting. Before going to bed, I was reading City of Glass, and my dream somewhat matched that xD I was with my best friend, and we were in this dark house. It was night, and I do not know why there were no lights on, but something happened to my friend and she was badly hurt. I had a stele in my pocket, and quickly drew a healing rune on her arm, but it did not seem to be working. I was really frustrated, and just wanted it to end, because the dark was starting to scare me (if you read any of my older entries you would know that i have a weird fear of darkness in dreams, for some odd reason) and eventually, I woke up. kind of. I had my right eye fully open, and my left eye was half open, but i could not move. My lamp was on, but my room seemed dark. I was still thinking of the dream in my head, playing it out without seeing anything. I kept telling myself to wake up, that I was already half awake, then thought, wait. I can turn this into a lucid.. all i have to do is shut my eyes... but then i decided i did not want to because i knew that i would not be able to banish the darkness around me, and that it would only be worse for me, so i stayed in that state for a few more minutes before i finally forced my eye open the rest of the way, and the room came into focus properly. When i sat up, my body still felt weird, like it was still partially asleep. I looked around for a minute before deciding to go back to sleep (lol) but yeah. very weird xD

Know someone this happened to?

If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
