I just recently had woken up at 6 in the morning. I normally do this andkeep hitting the alarm clock untill i'm awake enough to get up. But this morning I did this three times and each time i had a vivid dream, each lasting around 1-3 minutes. I'm just wondering how that is possible. I know it's possible to start dreaming quick, but is it possible to dream a full dream within seconds of waking , going back to sleep, then waking in ten minutes?
It sure is possible! This is what makes the WBTB style possible, waking up then quickly slipping back into a dream while still awake! All of my best lucids happen at this time of morning when I am snoozing my alarm. More often then not I try to cram everything I want to do into my dreams knowing that my alarm is going to break my lucid soon :P For me these dreams are usually always vivd and easy to remember, and can seem like they go on for alot longer than they really do.
What happened was you experienced a closing in the sleep awake barrier. Meaning when in deep sleep you are at -10 and when you are awake you are at +1 to +10 "Depending on how awake you are" since your alarm kept waking you up it made yourself climb up near to waking point -8 -4 -2 -1 etc, And if you are in the area between -1 and +1 you will have very short quick dreams that will be vivid because your consciousness if more active.Quote:

well, believe it or not, dreams happen in bursts. meaning you have the information all appear at once and you brain tries to sort it, which is probably why they don't really make sense. It is also probably why there are some people who simply refuse to believe in lucid dreaming.
