It really sucks for nightmares. I heard about someone else with the same thing, they were prescribed sleeping tablets and told to use a sleeping bag if sleeping above ground floor (for fear that the dream might make him jump out of a window
I don’t think accidentally hurting oneself is a likely outcome though as these dreams only happen when you’re very close to full consciousness on the way to sleep or wakefulness, and they dispel quickly after you start being active
You’ve heard of sleep paralysis?
Some of us get that dream effect (eyes open, dream reality overlaid over real reality) but without paralysis.
Opening your eyes? They’re already open and the dream is running
Getting out of bed? Touch hallucinations may become part of it
Usually turning on a light gets me out. That or time
