Dream in instalments

Early this morning, I had a pleasant and heartwarming dream.

For me, that is unusual in itself. I did not want it to end.

Its uniqueness lies in the fact that, after I awoke for the call of nature and went to get a drink, the dream resumed after the five or ten minutes it took to fall asleep once again. There, again, were the same characters, images, and emotions. I did not get closure before it transitioned into something else, or another stage of sleep.

I wonder how many of you have had this experience.
