usually i have trouble restarting a dream i've woken up from, but this morning i was able to do it twice in 10 minutes. my alarm went off both times during crucial points in a really interesting dream, and i was so frustrated that i hit the snooze button and rolled back over into the same position i was sleeping in, closed my eyes tight and kept on dreaming.
i couldn't think of a more satisfying way to start my Monday. has this ever happened to you?

This happens to me plenty. The worst actually happened last week, when I kept returning to a dream that Jimmy cheated on me/broke up with me. I kept trying to phone him and his family wouldn't let me talk to him...so I'd wake up after the dream going "Thank god it wasn't real, now I'll really call him just to make sure we're cool." And I'd go right back to the dream, thinking it was real every time. This went on for a half hour I swear. Fucking awful.

Not really. Obviously it's a subconscious fear, but no, I'm not worried about our relationship or how he feels about me in the least.

Usually I'll go into sequel mode. So like I'm having a dream where there's some axe killer trying to kill me and I'll wake up and be like "wtf". Then when I go back to sleep I'm in like axe killer 2: the revenge or something. I grew to learn how to control my dreams though, so I'm never really the victim in my dreams, always the hero.

I actually had the exact same thing happen this morning, and I almost never dream.
I can sometimes go back into dreams after waking up.
Sometimes I'll even go back into unpleasant ones just so I can find out what's going to happen.

This just happened to me today. I dreamt that I was on an island with some friends, isolated from civilization. Then these people came to us and told us that soon they will kill us. The weirdest part was that they were dressed in regular civilian clothing, on this island tucked away from anyone else.
That's when I woke up. When I went back to sleep it was a continuation of that same dream, except we were fighting for our lives.
So fucked.

So by waking up you "missed" the start of the fight? Like a movie where you miss part of it by walking out of a room?
