How come when you having a dream and you get woken up you never get to finish the dream off. Was having a well good dream the other night (Action thriller) and I got woken up and when I fell back asleep I dreamt about something else. Annyoing!

To understand a dream, it’s helpful to keep in mind why and how we dream. When we sleep, the body and perception systems are shut down, but the brain stem continues to fire and the cortex remains active. The thoughts that have been most active during waking hours—perceptions, experiences, thoughts and feelings, processed consciously or unconsciously—are still “peaked” and they associate with other images already linked in your cortex. In other words, the brain references this content, but not in a rational way, not using input from the external real world as in waking hours. So the story connectedness isn’t like everyday experience, but rather a strange flow from one image to the next. Therefore, dreams aren’t magical messages to guide our life, but sequences of associated images taken from everyday experiences - thoughts and feelings that matter a lot to us during our waking life. So it’s a mistake to apply one-size-fits-all symbols, such as Freudian meanings or standard “dreammoods” formulas. All you need to do is think about what kind of imagery it is and how it relates to your daily life.
So you see, it's not like a DVD where you put it on Pause and then later Resume. The undirected associations just start up again when you go back to sleep...and it goes where the associations lead it, who knows where! Such are dreams...

Dream huge! Why no longer decide for all of it is my motto, attain for the clouds, you won't get there however the celebs are there for the determining on, I even have some in my eyes and considered one of them is you and my Sis and my love if I had no longer dreamed huge i'm going to have ended up in basic terms settling for something small. existence is what we make is I shop on smiling and shop on dreaming or maybe whilst the line gets rocking the and the course gets no longer undemanding i comprehend that the line much less traveled has the main appealing flora and that's the single i desire to take

you probably did finish it off but the brain doesnt remember it because it automatically tries to erase that which it knows isnt true.
try and remeber the dream Later in the day, and you'll only be able
to remember that you had a really good dream and the general vibe of it and what you made a point of remembering when you woke up.
most dreams i have dont really have an ending, unless i am killed or something terrible, they just merge into a giant series of unrelated events

I have a recurring dream about being back in school, and trying to explain to teachers that i'm too old to be there and that i've already done school but they wont listen.
I glad when i wake up from this one though

usually, when i am having a dream, and i wake up from it, i tell myself that i am going back into the dream and i have controll over the outcome. Ironically, when i lose somethin, that night i dream about it and retrace my steps in the dream and the next morning i remember where it is. that is crazy. but it works.

Dreams are generally based on what's locked into your sub-conscience thoughts so If you concentrate hard enough, I find that you can continue a dream. I do it all the time!
