I have this sometimes. I've done some research and it's because while you are sleeping a hormone (if I remember correctly) is released to keep you still while you sleep. If you haven't entered REM sleep, you can "dream" while "awake" if you get my meaning. So you cannot move your body, but you can see things.
I've had this as well, but I normally have feelings of paranoia with it, which I think is not normal. But what you are describing does sound normal and can happen.
Is it normal that I happen to retain consciousness in dreams?
