False Awakening

A dream can seem rather vivid and sometimes we awaken in the middle of the night and this is known as a “false awakening.” 
Sometimes we feel that the event is actually real but we are still dreaming. This is normally termed as a false awakening. There are many things that create a false awakening during the dream state this could possibly be the fact that your brain is waking up or looking at the possibilities and replaying events in the day. In essence, this is a dream where you see yourself waking up then a short while later you actually wake up properly. This could be associated with getting out of your own bed in the morning and cooking breakfast then you realize actually you are still in a dream. Alternatively,  it can be that you wake up during the night and you actually see and believe that your dream is real.  So what causes this? In any dream that creates a false awakening, it can be quite disturbing. If you wake many times during the night it can be disruptive. The great news is that this false awakening can also be associated with the Lucid dreaming and it is fairly common. A false awakening is associated with lucid dreaming.
