Are you fully aware of your surrounding when that happens? That trick I mentioned works best for me when this annoying meta-dream of being sleeping/paralyzed in my dream (i.e. dreaming of being somewhere sleeping, usually around people and not being able to wake up to engage with them). I've often wondered if this is a sort of sleep paralysis or not because it doesn't quite fit neither what I read about sleep paralysis nor about false awakening but it's extremely annoying when that happen.
