This is one of the reasons I love daytime naps that the waking up is different from the night sleep. I haven't set the alarm and I typically nap about 1.5-2 hours. I gradually wake up, still dreaming but becoming half-aware about waking up. It's like been on the border of two worlds and I can pro-long it by will a little bit.
For me, the dream world feels more home, I feel more full of myself and alive there. I've tried to bring this dream me-feeling into waking life and it just doesn't work. It's so weird to feel myself in one way and after opening my eyes to perceive everything (including myself) quite different.
