okay so when i start having a nightmare, im aware of it. like in the dream, i start telling myself that i need to wake up. its weird because its like the me in the dream is talking to my body telling it to wake up. this usually happens before the nightmare gets worse. i start trying so hard to open my eyes. its like im half awake & half asleep. im awake because im aware im sleeping. but im still sleeping because the dream is still going on & i cant open my eyes...
this has happened probably 5-8 times. one time i even tried to wake myself up by trying to open my eyes with my hands. this only happens when i have nightmares.
why does this happen? is there a name for it? is this normal?
