Thread: Continuing the same dream when you go back to sleep?

In fact, I had a whole series of dreams that led into each other, all dealing with my travels through Hell and back out(after defeating the dark lord, of course)! Some of them were preludes and several of them were in the same night...

These all happened a short while after a nightmare I had(which is in my dj, in case you want to read it).

I was excited to fall asleep during the period that this was happening because it was like watching a good tv show, movie, or reading a really good series of books.

I've been able to 'chain' dreams a few times before. I usually have to only be awake for a few minutes at most and not leave the bed. I find it happens most when I spend that waking time thinking of the dream in question. If I can keep it in mind, I can sort of pick up where I left off, but often the details will be changed. But, this might also be due to the unstable nature of the Great Non-Lucid.

I do that all the time. I mean ALL the time. In fact, the only time it doesn't work is when I wake up from a dream I desperately want to go back into (like sex dreams, etc. ). But otherwise, it's a common occurrence with me, and probably to a great many other people here as well.

I always try to pull this in the morning before school, even after my mom wakes me up. haha

I remember doing this a long time ago, waking up, deciding I was going to carrying the dream on, and doing so.

It was important- those Zoids were running wild over my school, causing all kinds of trouble. I had to stop them...

This happens to me all the time, particularly on weekends when I sleep in. I wake up for a few minutes and then go back to sleep and I am right where I left off.

Wow...You all would be perfect for the DEILD method.

I used to do that a lot, before I started trying to increase lucidity. I may still, and I just fall asleep before I can write anything. Anyway, this happened just recently. It usually has less chance of happening if it's intentional.

This happens to me all the time. I've actually gotten to the point where I can hit my alarm before it actually goes off (there's a bit of a tone before the actual loud beep which really wakes me up). When I do so, I usually fall right back to sleep and pop up in the same place in my dream.

The odd, but very cool part, is that I can actually hit my alarm and do this several times. Also, the majority of my dream seems to happen between a couple of alarm rings (7 minute intervals). Very weird!

I too have the problem of not being able to realize that dreaming while I'm in the dream. No matter how many times I wake and re-enter, I just can't do it!
