About two nights ago I was in bed, eyes closed waiting for my wife to finish in the bathroom.

All of a sudden I saw myself in the middle of a large house. The house was dark, but it was illuminated by all the lights coming from the outside. I guess the house was a mixture of having a lot of windows, or being a glass house (sort of like the ones you see in some movies).

The light was coming in from some floodlights that were around a pool/waterfall. I guess due to the water, the light seemed to dance all around the house, sort of in a flowing motion.

I asked myself if I was dreaming, but I kept telling myself that no, I was awake enough to know that this was just might imagination. (One thing, I never imagine in 1st person). I tried to prove that I was sort of awake, and I moved my hand across my face. I could see a shadow of what I'd consider was my real hand while I was in bed. The "dream" continue to draw me in, but I kept on insisting to myself that I was awake. I could hear my wife already in the bedroom, but I was still in that house; just standing there.

I said to myself, "open your eyes." I stopped myself for a second or two, but I finally opened them. I thought I'd realize that I was awake all along, but I felt sort of a static sensation all around my body as "reality" came back.

I could swear that I wasn't asleep, but the vision was so vivid I can't explain it. Any ideas?
