Thread: How can my dream just explode like this?

This has probably not been the first time you long time members have heard about stuff like this, but I have a question about a dream of mine.

This dream occured about a year after my dog died (to whom I was very close too).

I was having a lucid dream, with my yard as the setting. At the time, I really missed my dog and I wanted to see him. Seeing as I could do whatever I wanted to, I conjured up my dog. It wasn't difficult at all, but when I tried to approach him my voice told me that he was dead and that this could not be happening. Next, I heard another voice that was also mine. It said that this was just a dream and I could do whatever I wanted. The two voices began arguing. I didn't really care about them, so I tried to reach out and pet my dog. The first voice, somehow, kept me from being able to reach him. Suddenly, the voices stopped but there was a tense feeling in the air around me, so I knew the battle was still being fought. Finally, in all my frustrating, and anger, and sadness, I screamed as loud as I could. The dream exploded into fuzzy balls of light that came floating down around me. As they fell they dissappeared and everything else was black. The tense feeling of a battle never left though, even after I woke up.

I think the first voice stood for reality and the second voice stood for fantasy. I indulge in both very deeply.

My questions are:

Why did my dream explode?
And, What was going on?
