Weeks ago I was watching TV and at the same time watching a YouTube video on my tablet. I would look at what was happening on TV then look back at the video I was watching. Suddenly I took a pause and looked at the TV. Someone did a funny stunt and for a quick moment I thought I could pause the TV like a YouTube video. On a seperate note, there were two times when I was falling asleep and I thought I was still on my tablet even though I turned it off minutes before. What is this? And has anyone experienced this?

I have dreamed that things were happening and then woke up and found out what I was dreaming was not what actually was happening in the physical world.

I have that happen all the time. Usually when I change from my Nook app on my phone, which is easy, to my actual Nook which is not as responsive. Before I updated my Nook I had to push a button to turn pages and I'd think it was touchscreen :-) I still sometimes do that now on my computer, think it is touchscreen when it is all keyboard.

I think it depends on how relaxed our mind is. I know I was watching TV most of the afternoon and evening yesterday (until fireworks) and I woke up this morning from dreams related to what I had been watching on TV. Our mind gets into a rut of seeing/thinking the same thing and then doesn't shift so fast ("Oh! You talking to me?")

In the days people used screensavers on computers I had one set to 30 minutes. Don't know why, because it was a bit too short time for me but anyway, that is how I did it. So sometimes watching a movie I had to remember to move the mouse sometime or screensaver would kick in. Then many times when I watched TV I felt the urge to move the nonexistent mouse.

Also I've gamed many times until I see the game afterwards for hours just closing my eyes.
