My dreams are Netflix originals. The good ones get cancelled on a cliff hanger and the bad ones go on forever.
I keep hearing it’s impossible to go back to a dream but I’ve on occasion woken up and taken back asleep to the same dream. It’s nice.
When I was a kid and had nightmares often, I would wake up in the middle of the night in a fit of fear. I had to make sure I would stay awake just long enough that I wouldn’t go back into the same nightmare again when I went back to sleep. It wasn’t just possible, it was common
I feel the same, although it does feel different. It’s almost as if I have more control because I know what’s going on now. It’s like the stage in between sleep and being awake.
Also, I have found I have the wildest dreams after waking up halfway through the night then going back to bed.
I’ve only had that happen when the being awake state was barely awake. I’ve not had it happen if I’m fully awake, try to go back to sleep, and want to resume the dream.
What if you were still in the dream when you “woke up”? :O
Scary. We don’t contemplate such nightmares. But I’ve forced myself awake from bad dreams so, can’t be too bad.
They were updated as you requested. You did not ask for a loading functionality. Please open a new feature request.
I remember being able to go back to sleep and resuming my dream. It usually happened if I reeeeeeeally wanted that to happen and kept thinking about the last part of the dream while going back to sleep.
I remember when I was like 13, I dreamt about a girl with white hair. Somehow I felt love with her in that dream, pretty wild. Anyways, we were just like hanging around and walking. When I woke up my “resuming” trick didn’t work because I wasn’t sleepy. I still remember her and it was a dream I had more than 15 years ago.
I had recurrent dreams, like dreams that I knew I had already dreamt, but the white haired girl never repeated.
Tell me about it. My giblet ass ends up trying to force myself back to sleep to finish a dream at least once a week.
I have the opposite problem. I’ll be having a dream I’d rather not be having and wake up several times just to jump right back in where I left off
They are. They just share a save slot with the “figuring out where, who and why you are” functionality of the “wakeup” feature. Can’t have both.
There is no why you are, even fully awake I wonder that question
Yeah, dreams are roguelike.
You guys have good dreams?
You guys have dreams?
I dream of electric sheep.
I have been having the same dream of hiking to a certain cabin, for years. When I’m awake I can perfectly visualize how to get there, and the landscape is completely fiction. I could even draw a detailed map.
Never trust auto save.
Never works. Well, the “go back to sleep” part does but not the other one
Lucid dreaming. Will it, and make it so
Side note: This may actually be possible one day. The technology already exists to digitize thoughts. It’s just very basic right now.
Here comes the dream police

To answer your question, dreams occur as the brain duplicates memory for long term preservation. Your dreams are a series of loosely connected concepts with no real meaning or overarcing plots. So, given that the events of the dream have no purpose and are a biproduct of biological functions, there is no requirement for them to continue where they left off, and furthermore the part where they left off can be completely unrelated to the parts that would naturally come next.
Yap all the time, but sometimes it works.
