There have been times (not recently) when I knew I was dreaming in my dreams and then I knew I woke up...but couldn't open my eyes and things were happening to me or around me. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't open my eyes.

One time in particular, my ex and I were staying at a couple's house that we hung out with. In the morning I was dreaming that the guy had slipped under my covers at the bottom of the bed and began fondling me to arousal. I remember thinking I have to wake from this dream...and then I did. But I couldn't open my eyes...and the guy was still under the covers. He finished what he was doing and slid out from under the covers and just as I heard the door click to close...suddenly, I could open my eyes. I jumped out of bed and threw on my boyfriends shirt and flung open the door and went down the hall to find the guy I mentioned in the kitchen...banging around the pots and pans and starting to make breakfast. He looked at me and said good morning and I stood, staring at him for a moment to see if I could pick up on his trying to hide something from me. NOTHING! It was the weirdest thing!
