Wake Up Stupid

I have very vivid dreams that are so detailed and exciting that sometimes when I actually wake up I don't want the dream to stop. So I just lay in bed with my eyes closed and try to finish out the dream by fantasizing about it. The dreams are not necessarily about sex, but many times about nothing much. Like last night I dreamed that I was at a soccer game watching my son play (I don't have kids) and Sean Puffy Combs suddenly appeared incognito to watch "our" son play and handed me an envelope with a stack of money in it. I didn't want him involved in my son's life because of his affair with Jennifer Lopez. I woke up but had to finish the dream by kicking him to the curb and telling him I didn't want his money and that he was a bad role model for our son! Is this normal??

Lucky you!
I don't think it's normal, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. I would KILL to have dreams that vivid and cool. Count yourself lucky!

HMM
Some people can't even remember their dreams when they wake up or just bits and pieces of them. While others have very vivid dreams where you actually believe you are in this certain situation. When something seems that real it is natural to want to finish it out. Just have fun with it.

normal to me
I have dreams like that all the time, in fact the first half of your statement made me think if I had writen it (just kidding)

I have dreams so vivid that sometimes I will dream about work and think I actually told someone something I said in my dream, I do pretty good about remembering. Also because I dream about work so vividly some nights I am more tired of being there.

I enjoy my dreams because I can have a second life other than the one I have. I just worry that I will get too lazy.

Dreams
Yep. I do. Dreams end too quickly so sometimes I have to force myself to go back to sleep to see how it ends.

That happens to me, too. I really enjoy it because when I close my eyes again I'm asleep enough so it's still very vivid but I'm awake enough that I have more control over it. Which is really cool.

me too
I have some pretty vivid dreams too. totally bizarre half the time. I often wish i could live in my dreams instead of the real world. or record them on video, even my nightmares cause theyre so crazy, like pooping out a snake into the toilet and it was goign to bite me with its fangs so i grabbed scissors and cut its head off but its head turned into a littel green human head and smiled at me! so i flushed it! i dont think i'll ever forget that dream,

ugh, I'd hate to have celebrities in my dreams. I think you watch too much t.v.

I rarely remember my dreams when I just wake up. But I do go into a daze quite a lot during the day, and just dream about things then. Normally I think about being some character from one of my story ideas.

It's good to have vivid dreams, and as long as they don't creep you out, I'd say you're quite lucky.

But I don't entirely get the whole celebrity thing. I guess whatever rocks your boat though.

I have had alot of dreams that i didn't want to end. Unfortunately, the always do.
I think this is normal, and i have also had dreams that seemed so real that it has happened to me that i confused it with reality.

Same here
I had a dream when I was 11, and It was about me being 12, and I lost my top left canine tooth. Then I went to visit my dad in my dream, and he lived in a mess. When I woke up, I started crying. Anyway, if I were you, I would try my hardest to remember what happened in your dream, then try to find out what it meant.

P.S. If you have a good dream about something good happening, do everything, in the dream in order, and 95% of the time it will come true. Cuz once I had a dream about getting a Nintendo DS Lite, and in my dream, I listened to Pretty Vegas by INXS twice, and I got it the next day.
