i enjoy having sweet dreams but sadly when the dream is very nice and you are interrupted abit by either a sound or someone wakes you up you try hard to continue but it wont,if you were having a bad dream about being chased by something bad or scary when you go back to sleep it will continue,have you experienced this ?

Oh, I experience that sometimes. I dream of a bad dream then when I wake up and continue sleeping, there's another bad dream. I don't like bad dreams. I get scared sleeping again. I also wish that my good dreams will continue. I guess they continue sometimes but it happens in other days.

You're right. I guess the bad dream was instilled to our minds so when we get back to sleep, another nightmare might occur. Happy dreams are hard to dream of. LOL.

No, personally I feel like good dreams and bad dreams have an equal chance of getting interrupted or continued. I've woken up from nightmares and been like, "Whew! That's over!" and gone back to sleep to dream about something completely different, and I've had great dreams where I've woken up briefly but been able to get back into the dream if I fell asleep again right away. I think it depends on your perspective. Maybe it might seem like you are always losing the good dreams and having to live through the nightmares, but I doubt that's actually the rule.

yes, I sleep always with dreams. Most dreams I cannot remember clearly when I wake up. Once I dreamed of tasting good food and drive to travel all over the world and I suddently waked up by a noice in the window. Too bad, I cannot continue my good dream even I tried hard to do do. But bad dreams will always continue even interrupted.

talking of dreaming of eating good food ,are you superstitious about eating meat in your dreams?
