I have a question about a dream I had this morning, I hoped I could ask it here since i'm in your class. It was my impression that you need to be asleep for 90 minutes to hit an REM cycle and have a dream. However, this morning I awoke at 7am, knowing I had to be awake at 8am, I decided to rest for a bit. I ended up sleeping and experiencing what felt like a few hours of dreaming. When I awoke, I knew I overslept my deadline. To my surprise it was only 7:27. This baffles me.

To give a little more information: I drank a large cup of dream herb tea last night and fell asleep around 2am. My dreams were intense and vivid, many involved dreaming of meditating and reaching intense vibrations / expansion. It felt as if my 2am to 7am sleep lasted weeks.
