This is very interesting. As a kid, until maybe the age of 12, I had a similar recurring experience. I always thought it was a recurring dream.
I would be either close to sleeping or actually sleeping, and suddenly be able to have tactile perceptions with my entire being instead of with some part of my body. It felt like I was zoomed in on something and able to feel the sharpness/dullness of my entire being against it. It was very unusual to "feel" without touching, but just via being.
I had previously explained it away in my head, thinking that maybe I was doing something like rubbing my tongue along my teeth, or my fingertip along the bed, and dreaming of the sensation at the same time.
