Why can't you continue a dream from a previous night? |
|
Last night I had a dream about Akshaye Khanna (an Indian actor who's cute, but no SRK), except his name was Ashfahgway and he was my boyfriend. I hit the snooze button three times to get back to the dream, it didn't work.
Is there some kind of trick?

1. I do that sometimes . . . |
|
but I don't think I have any conscious control over it. It just happens once in a while. :shrug:

2. Get a good book on lucid dreaming and you can dream about whatever |
|
you want. I recommend Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen Laberge. It works.

When I woke up, I was like Akshaye, but not Shah Rukh? That's just not right!
I've not heard of lucid dreaming....cool. Thanks for the suggestion.

3. No, that was one of the flaws in the current design |
|
I hear the next human prototype will allow dream continuation, as well as pause, replay, fast forward, and never-wake-again.
Intelligent Design has its advantages.

9. Aw man, I'm an older model? |
|
That's not cool. :(
Will I be able to trade myself in?

5. I know how to stop a bad dream and come back to |
|
I've done it before. If a scene just seems to outrageous to be true I'm able to stop, recollect and end a nightmare in the making.

10. That, I can do--but only with really bad ones. |
|
When I see it going down that route, I make a "safe" choice. But that's only if I feel things are going *way* downhill. Regular embarrassing/menacing dreams I still have to deal with.

Did you learn to do it, or were you born with the gift?

7. You might be thankful for the lack of that... |
|
... talent. About thirty years ago, for about a three-week period, I had the same dream every night, picking up where the last night's dream left off. Got to be quite maddening after a while. Three weeks' worth of dreaming someone was following me in an open air bazaar in Madagascar.

Did you ever have a long term dream like that again?
Open air bazaar, cool. Madagascar, cool. Being followed, not cool.

... just that one stretch. Very colorful; I remember all the stalls having brightly-colored fabrics rippling with the wind, bolts of bright cloth, etc., but a virtually continuous feeling of dread. I remember, in dream after dream, seeing what appeared to be the same Italian shoes below the bottom edges of the stalls, the person always a few yards behind me and never revealing himself.
Never had any resolution. The dreams just stopped.

That stinks....because the dream is just sooo nice. Plus, you're sleeping. Which is nice too.
It was horrible, just hearing that beep beep beep. Akshaye, come back!!

19. It takes practice to be able to do that |
|
I learned lucid dreaming a long time ago, and eventually abandoned the practice because (weird as it sounds) I didn't like feeling so in control of my pleasant dreams. (It never did make the nightmares go away, either.)
I can still continue a pleasant dream if I want to, though, or set myself up to have a dream on a theme I particularly like (generally, the theme is "I can have any animal I want, I have plenty of money and here's a pet store full of unusual animals." My second favorite theme is, "I have found a rat the color of an Irish setter and am now going to establish this color as a breed.").

20. I've done it sometimes. |
|
Sometimes I'm conciously awake, then I lay back down and return to my dream (it usually isn't a seamless return, but the basic idea is the same). Sometimes I wake up and turn off the alarm clock and get back to bed without stopping dreaming. I usually never remember waking up in cases like that.
