I always read that dreaming only takes place during REM sleep, which usually occurs about an hour or more after first falling asleep. Sometimes, after awakening in the morning, I'll fall back asleep and immediately slip into a dream. It could be a continuation of a dream that I was having just before waking up, or it could be a whole new one. Is it possible to wake up during REM sleep and then fall right back into it?
For several years after being discharged from the military, I had recurring dreams where I'd suddenly find myself back in uniform. The theme was always the same...trying to convince someone that I'd already served my time and that this was all a big mistake. I was always glad to wake up in my own bed at home after one of those.
When I was a kid, I would sometimes dream of standing at the top of a very high staircase. I would hold out my arms and leap off the top step like I could fly, but thankfully, always woke up before hitting the bottom. I can still almost feel the rush of sailing thu the air. And to this day, I'm not comfortable standing too close to an edge that doesn't have a railing or barrier of some sort.
Many years ago, I had recurring dreams about witnessing a light plane crash, with the dream always playing out in exactly the same way. You can imagine how creepy it was when I actually did witness a light plane crash...and it happened exactly the same way as in my dream. After that event, I never had the dream again.
