Are you able to follow on with a dream once you have been woken?

"What have you done in your life???" Wow! I'd have to write a book here!!! But a quick and short answer would be to say that I have challenged myself in many areas, and hopefully I have grown as a better person.\nAs far as a dream remaining, I am hoping to start a group of friends and aquaintanances who would like to gather in our homes, ( at first ) and discuss things of interest to each other. REAL Communication that we may not have the opportunity to have very often. I'd like these groups to grow, and for others to catch on and become instrumental in promoting real communication, as people still need real "friends' who they can discuss anything with. The world really needs more understanding and without judgement from others...\nHopefully not "just a dream"!!

It can mean a number of things. Most likely, you heard a loud noise in your sleep and incorporated it into your dream for a second before waking up-- maybe car noises from outside? It's also possible that you were having a bad dream and made yourself wake up when something loud happened in your dream.

In the early 20th century, some philosophers decided that dreams were when the spirit left the body and walked (or flew, fell, saw etc.) on the Astral Plane.  I believe that conscious transcending is possible.  It's in that space when you're still awake, but about to fall asleep.  Where your thoughts affect your dreams, but dreams still come unheeded.  Try this.  Get really tired.  Then sit down in a chair, on the couch, anywhere you can fall asleep sitting up.  Place a metal bowl in your lap and some sort of metal ball or large bolt/nut in each hand.  The point is this:  When you close your eyes, you consciously enter the Plane, but once you start to fall asleep the ball falls out of your hand into the bowl.  This creates a sound that pulls you out of your sleep.  Then you start over.  Practice enough and you won't need the balls and bowl.  You will be able to do it whenever you are tired, and later anytime you want.  Congratulations.  You've just learned how to Transcedentally meditate.

Consider..............or woke up beside?

No, and you're not unconscious either. There's a difference in the level of consciousness (how your brain is working) between when you're asleep, or if you've passed out and are actually unconscious. The simplest way of explaining it is that when you are asleep, you can still be easily awakened, for example, by a loud noise or being shaken. When you are unconscious, your brain is no longer processing external information - that is, it's still working, but wont respond to external stimulus.\n\nOh, and you don't dream while your unconscious - you do when you sleep.

There is no way of controlling dreams.  Dreams only occur in deep REM when you are very relxed, and they could originate from what you ate, are worried about, etc.

Read some books about lucid dreaming.  If you can become aware that you're dreaming as you're dreaming, you can design your pwn dream experience.  It's wonderful.  I used to have nightmares of drowning in huge, turbulent bodies of water.  The last dream I had like that, I was in a body of water behind a dam and I was about to be swept over.  I just decided that there would be a walkway extending out to where I was, and one appeared.  I climbed up on it and walked to shore.  I've never had a dream like that since.  Lucid dreaming is like creating your own universe.  You should look into it!

I can sometimes do that.  If I'm dreaming and know I'm dreaming, I'll lower my inhibitions a bit and just let myself go because I know it's "not real".  (i.e., if it's a "happy" dream and I want to go through with it because I know there won't be any consequences because it's "just a dream")\nAnd I have woken up from a dream and wanted to go back to resume my dream.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  If I am not "fully awake" and I focus on the dream and where I was, I can resume it.  If I wake up fully and try to go back to sleep to resume it, it doesn't usually work...\n\nInteresting question...

If you wake up *slowly*, you can remember more dreams — prolong contact with our subconscious minds.\n\nMost of us, as soon as we awaken in the morning, allow our minds to wander off—to worrying about work, or school, or getting the kids ready—or we begin talking with our spouse or bed partner about our schedules for the day. If we do not work to recall our dreams immediately upon awakening, we will have missed a crucial opportunity. - check out the site below . . .

I will not change my plans based on a dream, but I may change some of my long term habits. I do think that dreams can be useful, and we can learn so much by paying attention to them.  I don't think we get messages from other people or spirits in our dreams, but I do believe it is our brain's way of working things out and pointing some things out that we may have over looked. I kept having a dream where my college professor became ill and asked me to take over the class. I would always say yes in the dream but I became all stressed because I did not know anything about the subject matter.  After keeping track of this for a while, I discovered it was my job that was stressing me out because people kept piling stuff on top of me.  I finally started to tell people that I was at my limit and could not do anymore. We hired another person, and the dreams stopped after that.

you do it in your dreams

No. When you're really sleeping, your brain activity changes. These changes can be detected on an EKG, so they're for real. REM, or Rapid Eye Movement, is a very important stage of sleep (when you dream you're in REM sleep). Studies have shown that without it people have difficulties learning and functioning mentally throughout the next day.

You're asking about waking them from inside the dream?  To do that I'd suppose you'd need to enter the dream or know how to communicate with them on that plane.
