The waking experience would be carrying on where the dream ended with out anything to indicate which was which. Thats why in retrospect it is so very strange.


I've not experienced a false awakening but from the accounts of those that have they can be very much like that

The only time I ever encountered something unexplainable was on a fishing trip, by the thames at Hampton:
There was a chap fishing from a wooden pontoon type thing, which had dire warnings posted that it was unsafe. The thing that struck me as odd was that he was dressed for town & using a portable-type spinning rod.

30 seconds later he was no longer there _ No splash, & no way up the 10 _ 12 ft high stone wall behind him.

My thinking is that there are "ghosts" or whatever all about us all the time & we only notice them when they are out of context.
