Wow, cool

I dreamed that my house had somehow acquired an extra bedroom.

Then I woke up, realised that was silly, got out of bed – and found my house had acquired an extra bedroom, but in a different place.

Then I woke up. Extra points for a dream-within-a-dream! I think I've had one of those before, but never that vividly.

(On the minus side, second time this week I've overslept. I need to get better at using this alarm clock…)

I had one, where I got rather freaked out, as it had every appearance of being an infinitely nested dream.

When I finally did wake up, I had quite a prolonged "omg am i a butterfly" moment.

Hmm. When I woke up properly, I was in no doubt that I really was awake this time, but now you mention it I'm not sure why.

Perhaps it was the thorough mundanity that you never quite achieve in dreams. Why did Neo, when first removed from the Matrix and waking up in the real world, not immediately wonder if he was in another layer of Matrix? Because if he had been, Trinity would still have had an excuse to wear tight PVC. When he saw her in floppy blue wool, he knew he'd hit bottom.

Ah, that doesn't work with me. When I dream, I dream hyper-real with lots of details, and it can be perfectly mundane. The longest I've gone is lunchtime before I thought, "hey, what the fuck? that didn't happen! I must have dreamed it!"

But, I love that explanation. *grins*
