Hi, I'm new to all this, but last night I had an experience which really puzzled me.
I had a false awakening, where I thought I was trying to get to sleep but my husband was tickling me. I tried to kick him but couldn't move, I tried to tell him to stop but I couldn't seem to say anything. When I eventually woke I realised I had been dreaming. This has happened before, but I had been listening to an audio on my MP3 & the strange thing was that there was no break in what I was listening to. What I was listening to in my dream just carried on when I awoke.
Is it normal to be able to listen to something external whilst dreaming at the same time?
