I don't really know how to describe it, but when I nod out I start to sort of "mini dream" (my completely unscientific attempt at an explanation) where I'm essentially fully conscious and aware of my own body, personal space, and situation (sitting or lying down, hearing the music from my computer, legs crossed, etc.) yet for some reason I feel like I'm somewhere else, not at my house, or people who aren't at my house are sometimes in my house. Sometimes I go like, "Oh shit I'm in class, I gotta wake up before the professor notices." Or whatever.
As I was writing this question I nodded out and hallucinated that a buddy of mine was sitting on the edge of my desk. Haha. Another good example is if I'm typing on a forum like this, I'll think I typed up a long paragraph, then when I snap back to, I realize I didn't write anything, and the forum topic is something completely different.
It's super weird, because it's definitely not sleeping or dreaming. It's kind of like... I dunno, maybe what I imagine being hypnotized to feel like. It's kinda cool, I actually really enjoy it.
Is that pretty much normal for most people?
