I knew I was still in the dream state but it was truly a 50% awake 50% asleep.
I've got no idea what it's CALLED, but, I know what you mean, I've experienced it myself, mostly in my WILD attempts.

My guess is, it's not QUITE dreaming, but is more like a sort of hypnogogic imagery type experience where you still have some control over your real body...
