"Follow on dreams"

I know I'll get a torrent of abuse here, but this was just plain weird. Have you ever had a dream that, once reaching a decisive point (such as someone getting arrested, death etc.), you wake up immediately and then want to go back "in"? I recall being awake for a split second (I did open my eyes) before going back to sleep again.

Now, instead of turning into a totally new dream, or better still, sleeping in peace, I get the follow on events "episode" of the last dream, but with things that are slightly different, but nonetheless the consequences of the story occur as they should. I won't write about it, merely because it sounds plain stupid on screen, but it did have a coherent story order of events.

Uh, no matter, back to what you were doing. I was just totally f-ed up there for a while.

I had a wet dream this morning.

Yer.

I tend to dream a lot, and there have been times where I've woken up from a dream only to go straight into the follow-up when I'm back asleep. Usually, it's a some time after and something's been missed while I've been awake. Almost as if the dream wouldn't be missing any segments at all, if I hadn't briefly woke up.

Not really the same thing but do any of you feel as though your falling when your about to drift into sleep. do sometimes and it scares the cack out of me!

I also get a huge leg cramp when I sleep several times a year that has me rolling in pain for a good minute and then I fall asleep again straight after. It gives me a slight limp the next day though.

I have dreams where I know I'm dreaming and want to get out of it as well - usually to do with death or something unpleasant and I try and wake myself up which is really weird.

I've also woken up and couldn't move and the only thing I can assume is I was right on the edge of sleep/awake.

I sometimes have elaborate and intricate dreams which seem so real until you wake.

Dreams are just really really crazy.

Wehey! I get that too sometimes.
Although sometimes I get "wrong" pre-monitions.
For example, at one point we were going to get a new car. I had a dream where mum and dad told me they'd decided that they'd weighed up the costs and decided we weren't going to get a car. So I woke up thinking that we weren't getting one anymore (sometimes these deja vu style dreams do get mixed up with genuine memories) and then was pleasantly surprised to see that we were. :-)

When I went to university last year my dreams sort of combined into hallucinations. I remember seeing people walking through my wardrobe... from the right side, pushing through clothes and then through the left side... I had a sort of dream where I got a view of a sort of tunnel passage that went through my wardrobe. A girl I liked saw me and waved as she went by but then she went and got with someone else in real life! Hmph!

I get that sometimes.
I remember once when I was getting to know a girl when I woke up.
I then wanted to go back "in" and sort of did but... you don't quite go back in the same way. There's a follow on of events but a different vibe, like a sequel...

Anysway, what's with all this shame?
Dreams are great! I remember once I wound up as some sort of terrorist bomber but didn't want to hurt anyone, so if I was given a bomb to place in a busy place (I think I was given a shopping centre) I got cold feet and then started running around with the live bomb, looking for somewhere to drop it.

The centre was multi leveled with elevators "steps". The bottom one looked like it had boxes (storage) and I couldn't see anyone so I just dropped it down there. Later I was given a mission to plant a bomb somewhere, anysway it planted and then we heard sirens so we scattered and hid. I sort of went back to the scene to see if it had gone off. It turned out that we'd planted it on a tree outside a church. People I knew were crowding around the blackened tree, wondering who would do such a thing...

Weird dream. I'm suprised I remembered it considering I had it about 7 and a half years ago. I think it was partially inspired by the first hour of Final Fantasy 7 that I'd played at a friends house. :-D

I've had one of those, except with nothing really scary happening. I was in Florida at the time and the first night I was there I woke up and couldn't move. For some reason though, I didn't care, I just thought "Meh, I'll deal with it in the morning" and went back to sleep.

One time my brother (who sleep walks) pulled out the printer and he took it to another room and my Mum had to take him back to bed. Apparently he was a Native American and picked up a bow and arrow and was trying to shoot someone (in his dream).

As far as I can remember the scenario's we're mostly places I'd been, or were going to go to. Obviously there's probably been some stranger ones, but as I said I havent actually dreamt in a fair while.

Used to have them all the time.
