Every so often when I awaken from a dream, I feel the need to go back to that dream because I enjoyed it. I dont know if Im crazy or what, but sometimes If I try hard enough I can fall back asleep and continue that dream to the exact moment I left it. I noticed that this works alot when I am awaken by an outside force like a person or an alarm clock, not due to natural reasons. It almost seems like I was supposed to finish the dream, thats why I could fall back asleep so easily and continue that dream.
Right off the bat, i realize most of you are thinking this is impossible because I would have to go through all the stages of sleep first before I started dreaming again. I think maybe my mind is tricking me into thinking that I re-entered the dream right away because I simple excitedly asked my brain to. Also it seems impossible to be able to continue a dream after already waking up. Keep it mind that I must have some lucidity going on, because if i didnt, then I would never remember that I had ever been to that same dream before. I know this must sound very confusing. I have had many lucid dreams in the past, so I understand what goes on during normal ones. I would just like to know if what I have experienced is legit or just a part of my imagination.
