Ive had a couple of these, but oddly enough they are always in third person. Hell I wake up looking at me in third person before I wake up sometimes.
A few of mine have been in 3rd person aswell, usually around my shoulders/back of my head.....which is weird cause I barley see the back of my head in RL let alone a dream.

Once when I was about 6 or younger (as my brother hadn't been born yet....those were the years) I had a FA inwhich I proceeded to walk into my bathroom and pee, I then remember feeling an odd sense of warm washing over my legs.....needless to say I awoke to myself peeing in my bed :(

yes, more often when I was still in school. I would plan things I would do in the morning, such as finish my homework or do some house chore, and in the morning I would go through the whole process only to wake up and find that I had actually accomplished nothing with my day, but had felt as though I had already done the work, chores etc. It was very annoying.

I've never had this exact thing happen to me, but I've had similar. Recently, I woke up with the strange new awareness that the alarm clock's sound wasn't real. I ignored it for about a minute before realizing that yes, it was real, and that yes, it was entirely possible that it had awakened the entire rest of the household. (Two year olds at five in the morning...ehh...) Fortunately, they were all sound asleep. It was freaky, though, because I don't remember dreaming about anything that night, let alone whether my alarm clock was real.

Nope, I can't say this has ever happened to me.
How lucky you are.

The first few times it happens are really trippy.
That was my thought when I was reading the OP. I imagine if I did experience it I'd spend the rest of the day incredibly paranoid that it was all still a dream.

I once did that. Then I realized that it was just still the dream and woke up again... but it was still the dream. I did that like seven times. The udder ridiculousness of the number of false awakenings has stuck with me and the fact that my unconscious mind never caught on makes me sad.

Yeah, it's really annoying because I dream I wake up at 8 am and I go shower and eat and stuff and then I wake up and it's like 8:50 and it's like SHIIIIIIIIII CLASS AT 9 ADKFJDAKFJDAFjdas

Yes, and mine went further than just daily morning rituals. I essentially dreamt going through an entire day of school.

Of course, then I wake up to find that I haven't begun yet. Worst day ever.

That happened to me. Except it was the entire school year. And when I woke up, it was still summer holidays.

Kinda, I had a dream within a dream.
I had one very disturbing dream, I was in a car crash and got put into a coma, then I was trapped in a ground hog day type dream in which I eventually discovered that I killed my best friend in the car crash.
For the record, I'm sure I've had a false awakening as well, I just can't really remember the specifics.

I had a dream once where my alarm goes off and I reach over to turn it off, only it doesn't stop. So, I hit the button a few more times still doesn't stop. I reach down and unplug the alarm, no good. I open it up and take the batteries out, nope. I threw it against the wall then proceed to crush it underfoot, still ringing. I gather up the pieces, leave my room, grab a shovel from the front porch, and dig a hole. I throw all the pieces in it, and cover it over with dirt. It just won't stop ringing. Then a woke up for real and realize that my alarm has been going off for over 10 mins and turn it off. I must have been one sleepy boy.

Yes, multiple times. I think the most times I've thought that I've woken up, only to figure out I'm still dreaming is five. It's really not a pleasant experience, especially since when it happens to me it's usually accompanied by very disturbing events. Without going into too much detail, disfigured faces coming out of the walls/dresser, a ghost flying into me, various large spiders, talking to my brother on a two way TV where my alarm clock usually is, sitting on a pile of clothes crawling with maggots. Shadows in the corner of my room moving around. The only time it's kind of cool is when there's zombies involved and I get to shoot them. They're really annoying though, because it seems completely real at the time, until either I realize that something just doesn't seem right and I'm probably still dreaming, or it becomes so distressing that I hope that I'm dreaming and try to wake up. Might be one of the reasons I hate going to sleep.

I dreamed that I woke up and went to class without a paper that was due : (

It was the closest I have ever been to crying in my sleep.

damn dude thats some messed up stuff. The worst I will get is an odd feeling that something if off/not right that will gradually build up until I wake up or I'll find myself slowing slipping out of 1st person to having an out of body experience of sorts, watching my self perform my daily tasks without thinking its odd for awhile.

i had a friend who told me about his experience, he though he woke up to the music coming from the radio alarm and tried to turn it off but it didnt and he threw it against the wall and it broke and music stopped, at this point he woke up to the real alarm and found out that he had thrown his new iPod to the wall and it had broke, he had fallen asleep while listening to it :p
