This disorder also can lead to other fun and down right horrific things, such as being awake yet still in a dream state. Where you know you are awake, you see your room etc, yet your brain is also adding in dreams or hallucinations. So you could wake up then see some scary ass thing walk out the door.

i used to have freaky dreams like this all the time in my old apartment, i thought it was haunted.. i only have dreams like that when i sleep alone, and in this old apartment i'd be sleeping but imagine that i could hear my boyfriend coming in to visit, and then he'd come and get into bed with me, which was fine, but suddenly something in my mind would switch on and i'd realize my boyfriend couldn't really be there because i knew i was still sleeping and he was at work-- therefore whatever was in bed with me must be a demon-- then i'd start trying to push him off, but i wouldn't be able to move, and when the demon realized that i knew he was a demon, his face would start bubbling up and he'd scowl in this horrible way and being losing his anthropomorphic qualities..
