Last night I woke up after 3 hours of sleep to record my first dream. As I laid there trying to go back to sleep, my mind kept sleeping off into weird thoughts and scenarios that it seemed I had no control over. It felt like a stronger version of a day dream, but uncontrollable. I kept snapping myself out of it because I was trying to repeat to myself that I would wake up and record my next dream.

Now, as far as I could tell I wasn't actually dreaming, but I certainly wasn't 100% aware of everything either. Is there a term for this state that I was in? Or was I just really tired and not thinking clearly?
