    It's hard to make believe you woke up since you have to be awake before you can make believe anything. Probably it's supposed to mean "I made believe I had just woke up" when I had actually been awake for a whiile.

    It means simply to imagine something, to make it up.

    Nothing much, since it doesn't make much sense.
