Do you mean that you have had a lucid dream¹?

I have also had many lucid dreams -- I used to practice lucid dreaming.

This is like a lucid dream but there is no narrative or control over what is happening -- only awareness. It is really most like being in the center of a river of thoughts, briefly experiencing them as they rush by.
