awake dreams (dreams that contain an element of consciousness) / consecutive-theme dreams
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 his 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

there's no sleeping in heaven
somewhere along the path of evolution the need to sleep/dream will
no longer be needed
incorporating the subconscious into the conscious (it's possible that
it's the other way around i.e. the conscious becomes incorporated
into the subconscious) is, without doubt, a major transition of
evolution
one of the writer's interactions with e.t. suggests that e.t. is able to
manipulate/merge the the conscious and sleep periods
it is safe to say that for most people some dreams do have a
moreish quality
try revisiting a dream you enjoyed and experiencing it again
