I've been dreaming while also conversing with people in the real world, even with my eyes open. Just as I am speaking to you, I was also speaking to an ex-lover and telling her what was going on in my dream while I was dreaming and with eyes open. I think it kind of freaked her out.
i had that last night i was sleeping on my cousins couch and heard footsteps upstairs but thought i was dreaming but i really wasn't
i think those are lucid dreams http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream they're pretty crazy they always give that really weird unfinished feeling when you wake up craziness =/
actually.. for it to be a lucid dream, it has to be crystal clear that you know youre dreaming... if youre in confusion, its not really a lucid dream. lucid dream is when youre aware that youre in a dream, and you can control everything .
