This was during sleep paralysis, not during dreaming. Perhaps the prior-evaluating inhibition is absent during sleep-paralysis but not dreaming?
They are obviously related states, but from personal experience I have had a much easier time realizing what’s going on when sleep-paralyzed (including recognizing that the voices and people I hear in the room with me almost certainly aren’t actually there because they weren’t every other time this happened)
