I have these weird dream things. Like not last night but the night before, I heard the tornado sirens go off. I thought it was a dream. But it wasn't because everyone else heard them too. Then last night, I had a dream that my mom or someone came and gave me an ice pack. This morning, I wake up and there is the ice pack.*I still can't tell if it's real or a dream! But seriously, these things feel exactly like a dream and I can't figure out if it's reality or just my mind! I mean I don't remember talking to my mom or actually grabbing the ice pack. I remember it like a dream but not like I actually actively did it.*Help! What is this or what does it mean?!
It means that you are in a light sleep state where you are still partly aware of outside stimuli. My Dad used to tell of the days when he and his parents would hold conversations with his younger sister while she was asleep, perfectly intelligible on both sides. She, too, would wake up thinking they'd been a dream; and was surprised when they'd recount the whole thing.
