Was this chaining?

Okay, long story short, a few days ago i had a dream involving being on a foreign planet with very little air.

immediately after seeing one of my friends collapse, i felt the dream fade. I started screaming in my head “NO! I’m not done! send me back!” and it worked! I went back into my dream and saved her, before doing a few other things and waking up without a fight.

Is this chaining?

[color=darkred]I think you kinda just recovered your dream.
If I’m not mistaken, chaining is when you wake up from a dream briefly, and then fall back asleep and get back into the dream.

Nice one though :smile:

Thanks! That’s a first for me. i mean i’ve recognised that my dream was fading before except all the rest of the times i was like “Shit! Shit! Shit! No! I don’t wanna wake up! This is cool!” and woken up anyway. This was the only time thusfar that it’s worked.

Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that the reason i didn’t want to wake up was emotional (I didn’t want my dream-friend to die.)

Or maybe it was about your wording. Since our mind/subconscious doesn’t know about negatives, when you say “I don’t want to wake up”, it understands “I do want to wake up”. Don’t think about yellow whales. It is the same thing.

Since this time you said/thought “Send me back”, the subconscious must’ve done what it understood, which is sending you back.

Congratulations on the achievement! :happy:
