Examples of wake

wake
The bite woke him up, but he did not immediately realize what had happened.
In the next stanza she takes on the persona of a victim who wakes up to find flood waters at her door, preventing her escape.
Now, she wakes up to a vibrant, new intellectual scene.
The dreamer usually reacted to the attack by running, escaping, or hiding (unless she woke up).
Likewise, the data are not sufficient to conclude that they are the same as waking mentation.
Most recall of waking experiences is referenced by external events.
We would like to question their assumption that recall of mentation in waking states is so superior to that experienced during sleep.
At this point, it seems most constructive to consider all of the correlates of dreaming (and waking) cognition.
A cat walks by and wakes up the tiger.
Dreaming occurs throughout sleep: it may be useful to focus on features that are common to both sleep states and different from waking.
We describe the time-gap experience as evidence that everyday memory for waking states may not be as good as they assume.
Let us distinguish then the concept of consciousness from the concept of a waking state.
In the review that follows, the measures considered are, for the most part, methodologically diverse and correlated with waking state cognitive processes.
They are so-called 'free boundary layers', such as jets, wakes, separated layers, etc., in which the solid boundaries are absent in the flow field.
Global interaction of the boundary layer separating from an obstacle with resulting open/closed wakes is studied for a thin airfoil in a steady flow.
