    Do it all the time. It mostly doesn’t mean anything since dreams stretch the definition of continuity and picking up where you left off doesn’t mean it’ll continue in any sensible way.

      Never had sequels but I was able to repeat the same dream years apart, it would happen every time I binge watched a zombie apocalypse show

    Had a dream recently where I was having a great time in a fantasy world tavern (guess it’s time for me to stop watching so many isekai shows) and decided to sleep on the floor in that same tavern. Woke up in reality, but I really wanted to go back to that story, so I was “telepatically” communicating to a “buddy” in the tavern to wake me up, and each time he would do that I’d see a flash and still find myself in the real world. Was pretty disappointed after a bunch of attempts to “go back”.

    It always seems different when you come back. Like what happened before was a movie, or in a museum, or was itself the dream of the new dream

      I used to dream I woke up, showered, dressed, and preparing to go out to uni, only to wake up and realizing I was already late. I’ve also dreamed that I’m going to bed, but that seems to have little narrative purpose, so it has only happened a few times in my life.

      Yes, I had two of these weird dreams or more like nightmares when I wake up, realize that I’m still in a dream, wake myself up, still in a dream do it again, again and again, and after a long time, I finally wake up in real life. It was a nightmare because it was so boring and because it gave the feeling that I couldn’t escape my dream.

      Had a dream once where I woke up, washed my face, had my breakfast and was getting ready to go to uni. Then I woke up and had to repeat everything.

      And THEN I woke up.
