Not too large a hot toddy before bed was it?
As Tpin says, some dreams are so real however that they stay with us all day. Who's had a dream where they are totally in love with someone they know and that feeling lasts all day?
As a made up example: You dream your are on holiday lying on a lovely beach and you think to yourself 'I love this beach, I have been coming here for ten years now because I love it so much. I remember one year though, there was a great storm and I had to run for cover into a coffee shop where I had a latte and a piece of cake.'
When you wake up though, none of it was true.

I can see all this at ground level but I cannot move any part of my body. I feel calm and relaxed, the dreams never changes one bit every time I have them. And that’s it.
When my Dad was alive I asked him did he know any family members who died in a car accident years ago, he didn’t but he had a brother who emigrated in the 1930’s and was never heard of again, there had been a fierce family row and he just backed up and left, they never spoke about it.
Dreaming has always fascinated me, one aspect of dreaming is the angle you see things at, you could be looking down at a scene or in the middle of a crowd, you could be seeing an event from a distance or close up, this must mean something in my opinion, one thing is for sure, you will never see your own face in a dream, hard as you may try before you nod off.
Some interesting replies here. Thank you.

Re: The complexity of dreams
Nice dreams are well `nice` But night terror is not,it`s when you are in a very bad place and you know your are dreaming,but that is a dream inside the dream. You try to yell out to wake yourself up,but those screams are also in the dream.You finally wake up with heart pumping,possibly in a sweat. Been there a couple of times.

Just a thought.
