when i dream it's usually like i'm watching myself, like i'm a hovering nearby, but sometimes the dream feels real like i'm looking through my own eyes and that i'm actually there

one dream or should i say nightmare felt very real and i was kinda aware i was dreaming but it didn't feel like a dream even though i knew it was one,

i was walking through a completly white warehouse with aisles of white containers, rows with lift up lids on a slant.
after a while of walking i decided to open one of the containers....bad idea
thousands...millions of tiny black beetles crawled out
i froze, and stood there as the covered me, crawling up....i couldn't see my legs and when they got to my waist, one bit me and i felt it i actually felt the prick in my side. *shudders*
i woke up then with a start and scared my cat who accidently poked me with his hind claws >.>
