A few days ago I was taking myself a nap before work. I usually have vivid dreams during these short naps which is fun. Now this one dream was particularly strange only because of how it ended with me dreaming while awake. Now all I remember about this dream is that I was riding in the passenger seat of my friend's car, I was wearing my grey hoodie with the hood slightly covering my eyes (I fell a sleep with my pillow covering only my eyes) , I was wearing jeans, and my phone was sitting on my lap. Now while I was sitting in the car I suddenly realized I was dreaming. At this point I tried to take over the dream and try to fly which did not work. I was paralized in the chair looking at my phone unable to blink. This is when I heard spongebob playing on my TV (Spongebob was playing when I fell a sleep) and now I knew I was partially awake. Still looking at my phone sitting on my lap everything began to morph from looking at my phone in the car into reality.. my room. I watched as my dream began to change into reality without me ever closing my eyes. Sorry if this dosent make much sense, dont know of a better way to explain.. and im super sleepy.
That doesn't make a lot of sense to me...but a few points do. You said you could hear spongebob in the background, because it was on the television in reality. I LOVE falling asleep to TV, for the reason that I can hear it, and know that I am dreaming, which makes it easier to go into a lucid dream. So all in all, I guess I do know what you are talking about. That sort of pseudo-conscious dream-like state where you can sense things in reality, but they just don't make sense... That is my favorite state ever.
