After meditating for 3 years, these states are common when dreaming - as awareness persists within dreams - doesnt equal lucidity - as no active actions performed - can recommend meditating, its art.

I never meditated and have them. I must be a natural then.
It's quite inconvenient.

Think everyone has such experiences - which is your most vivid one?

This is a bit of a funny one.
When I was a kid I had a terrible ear infection, and I was going in and out of this state all night. I had also just discovered Pokemon and had been playing it all day.
I realized that I was injured and the solution of course was to be recalled to a Pokeball. I tried in earnest to do this for who knows how long. Eventually it hit me that I didn't have any other Pokemon I could switch to so sadly it wouldn't work.
It sounds like a joke when I put it into words but it felt very real. Honestly in retrospect I think the distress was worth the unique experience (and subsequent amusement).

It's all unintelligible garbage when it happens to me.

Random phrases. I remember some of them.
"She is not fat anymore"
"Don't make jokes about my hair"
Always something really nonsense.
