I've had this happen now more times than I care to count. I wake up from a dream, record the entire events of the dream, continue doing whatever it is I think I should be doing after getting up, and then...

I WAKE UP!

Of course, realising that recording the dream was a complete waste of time, because I have to do it again!

The most annoying part about this is that when I'm recording my dreams in my dreams, my memory of the dream is so much clearer than it is when I record them when I actually wake up, and I usually feel like I lose quite a lot of detail.

Does this often happen to anyone else?
