Yes it is waiting. Its waiting for to see if you will actually find enough about you to go further and develop your dreaming awareness so you can meet it properly.Right now you are in the balance. You could very easily just fall asleep again after having woken up just enough to see it. You said that you asked it 'not to bother you'. Well its done just that so far. Normally people dont have enough about them to say that sort of thing to them. It has obliged you by following your wishes.
