i have been known to sleep with my eyes half-open. i frequently 'see' somebody in my room then awaken to find it was actually my guitar or chair. i'm sure these two are connected.

I have done this as well, but I sleep with both eyes closed. I'll wake up and think I am staring at something, get scared, turn on the light and realize it's just an object in my room. I attribute this to just being tired and am sure it has happened to everyone.

And yes, I agree that sleep deprivation really fuels these experiences. This is the first time I've had the physical feeling of what I was experiencing in my dream, though. The dirt in my shoe was pretty damn crazy.

Vava,

That sounds extremely intense and scary. That sucks.
