False Awakening

A vivid or convincing dream about awakening from sleep, when in reality you're still sleeping

Jimmy had a false awakening because he had a dream in which he thought he woke up.

When you wake up but instead of actually being awake, it’s just a dream. They sometimes happen over and over again.

I had like seventy false awakenings last night, it was crazy!
