the closest the writer came to being able to make himself get out of bed and start doing things while asleep was when he was six or seven or eight and willed him self to continue the really satisfying dream from the previous night it wasn't just a... i'm glad this isn't a dream... type dream in awake dreams there is a level of control through which the dreamer can introduce into the dream whatever content is desired it is safe to say that for most people some dreams do have moreish quality try revisiting a dream you enjoyed and experiencing it again
