Well, usually I wake up normally
But I often have the weirdest dreams. One night I dreamt my duvet was covered in spikes, so I kicked it off. I lay there, in a state of being half awake, half asleep, getting colder and colder (it was winter, mind you), starting to shiver but afraid to pull the duvet back over myself because, obviously, I believed it to be covered in spikes. Finally I delicately pulled it back with my fingertips and fell asleep again.
Just one example, many more similar ones. As a child I often had my eyes wide open for some time during sleep, which sometimes resulted in my mother almost getting a heart attack when checking on me because she thought I was dead
