It has nothing to do with life or death, everyone has experience

The things around you that you perceive in those few minutes in reality are reflected in the dream.

In fact, everyone should experience this feeling, that is, when waking up from sleep, the perception in reality will affect the ongoing dream (or create a dream), and then a continuous sound or a sudden high decibel level sound, or a sound that can indicate that you should wake up (I have the impression that the ducks croak in the morning in the countryside, the sound of the mother calling for dinner in the afternoon, etc.), and then it will be very brief. Clear whether it is a dream or reality, and then wake up and realize where the dream and reality intersect. At this time, there is also a very strange feeling, that is, I don't know whether the dream is synchronized with reality, or the prediction of the dream before the reality, or the occurrence of the dream after the reality. And at the moment of half-dreaming and half-awake, you feel that a lot of what happened in reality happened in the dream, but the next second you can only remember the one thing that caused you to wake up.
