- How odd.. I can remember (on several ocassions) being awakened by something
- (too hot, loud noises outside, etc.) during an interesting dream, noting
- the time, and then dozing off again, dreaming the whole time. When I wake up,
- many hours have passed (three or four), and I'm sure I've dreamt the whole
- time.. I must add, though, that the amount of information that can be packed
- into this time of REM activity is phenomenal. On one occasion, I remember
- reliving most of my life in one of these 'extended-play' :) dreams.
