Pimuli - Often when we wake the dream process carries on so we hear see and feel what was in the sleeping dream. But often because our conscious self is now a part of it the dream changes.
Years ago I dreamt of a black Labrador dog. It barked and its bark woke me, but I caught myself barking, just like a dog. As I often point out to people nearly every image we experience in a dream is a part of us. Also this week I had a very powerful dream in which a man's voice was instructing me. As the dream went on I woke and experienced a waking lucid dream. Even then the voice was incredibly real and telling me things I had not thought of. Then gradually it became an inner voice, and I realised it was a wiser part of me telling this silly old man some wisdom.
