Does dream logic carry over into the real world?

[nullbyte00]

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).

Yes, I believe it carries over. I remember once my mom woke me up and I told her, "The crow calls!" She looked at me with a puzzled expression and said, "What???" I replied, "You know, the crow calls!" I then walked down the hall and used the bathroom. A few seconds later I snapped out of it and had no clue why I had just said that.

omg lol same thing with me! my mom wakes me up for school and i say a phrase that has been carried over from a dream. something that makes NO sense at all.

I think if you are still half asleep dream logic does carry over. I've woken up from dreams thinking they were real lots of times. Once I had a dream my leg was cut off, and when I woke up I had to look to make sure it was still there.

[Lucidbulbs]

Oh yes, that logic does stick with you for a few tid bits. I can safely say that when I've awoken I'm still thinking like I would in the dream. Once, while I was living the [dreamed] life of a hobo who burnt his [yes... I was guy in that dream] leg on a scalding hot pan. I woke up and I had to check if my leg was fine... it felt a bit cold but it was fine

It sticks with me so strongly, I often have difficulty distinguishing memories of dreams with memories of reality. For example, I'll be talking to someone, and start telling them a story, and then realize that the story couldn't have been true because of some contradiction. You would think that this would aid my dream recall, but the second I discover it I have to find something to write on because it'll slip away.

I'm sure it does. Many times my mom wakes me up for school and I say something completely out of the blue (sorry I can't remember any examples I forget them by the time I get up) and my mom is like WTF?

Yes I had a dream yesterday where I was looking for my money cause I had lost 500$ and when I woke up I was like "**** wheres my money I can't believe I lost it" then I realized oh right it was a dream.

The first dream I've ever recorded in a dream journal was about aliens taking over the Earth. Here's an excerpt from my dream journal of when I woke up: Then I went to sit with my chicken friend, waiting for the end of the world to come knowing that there was nothing I could do about it and even if I did, there wasn't enough time to plot any ideas. Then I woke up. I was laying in my bed with my eyes open. My radio was on playing music. Even though I was out of the dream I still believed that the world was ending. I layed in my bed deciding if I should do something or if I should just sleep in for the last day of my life. Then I snapped out of it and realized that it was all a dream.
