Thread: Does dream logic carry over into the real world?

So last night I had this small dream where I was running, and I then just jumped into water. My dream started fading (I was waking up) and while I was waking up, I was coughing. When I was awake in my bed, I thought something like "I was probably coughing because I was just in water" (I actually thought I was really in water, even though I knew I just woke up from a dream). So, does dream logic carry over for a few seconds into the real world, or was this probably a false awakening?

Yes if you just wake up your mindset may be on what just happened until you realize that you are awake. It could of been a false awakening if that was a dream as well.

Actually, I would dare to say it does carry over. Everytime I have dreamed about winning the jackpot, I slowly wake up, thinking I'm rich. Or, maybe, that the winning ticket is in my pocket. This only lasts for about five to ten seconds before I realize, (insert expletive here).

That's just one example that comes to mind.

Well i know dream desires carry over. IE: if i have a dream about swimming, i'll wake up and really want to go to the river or pool that day; or if i have a sex dream about someone, i'll wake up really horny thinking about them.

Lol, This is funny because this had happends to me alot, the most recent was about 3 days ago. Ive been playing a lot of resident evil 4 lately, and i was dreaming i was in the game. I had to piss real bad, and it wouldnt let me. So i woke up, and ran to the bathroom. I actually had to piss really badly!!!! I stood their for like 1 minute i swear. lol

Dream logic definitely carries over without question. I can't tell you how many times my dad has gotten up after napping on the couch only to give us a strange command or comment that makes no sense. Plus, I remember a time when I woke up after a dream about laser tag and asked my brother where everyone went (we shared a room).
