Near death experience of Howard Storm

I'm talking about having trouble telling the difference when you wake up.

As an aside, when I'm dreaming and become aware of the possibility that I'm dreaming, I jump up to make sure, trying to increase my 'hang time'. If I stay in the air longer than I should, I know I'm dreaming.

As another aside, I often have dreams where I demonstrate paranormal abilities and think something like, 'huh, I guess I was wrong about there being no such thing as psychokinesis'.

Ok, but there's such a thing as a false awakening. You wake up, everything seems normal, you start thinking about your dream or do other stuff only to realise at one point that you're still dreaming, or to actually wake up from that.

So you're familiar with lucid dreaming? You can apply certain techniques to both prolong these dreams, have better recall of them, more awareness while you're dreaming, and so on, you know?

One of the scariest things that happens to me on occasion is telescoping false awakenings.  As in, false waking upwards of 10 or 20 times in a single dream.  A lot of times, when I'm asleep but have to pee, I'll dream about waking up and peeing, and then I'll realize I still have to pee, and then I'll wake up and pee... but then realize I still have to pee, and then I'll wake up... and do that a bunch of times.
