Has anyone ever had their alarm clocks be a part of their dreams?
I had the weirdest dream this morning. I was working in a restaurant in this really fancy hotel although the tables were really crappy plastic/folding tables with cheap chairs. The Maitre'D was Christopher Walkins and he kept yelling at me to turn off that alarm because it was annoying the customers. (You'd think the customers would be more pissed eating these expensive meals using these cheap crappy tables).

Eventually I figured out it was my morning alarm when my other alarm went off and I woke up.

1. Yeah a few times.
I had one where the person in my dream was talking like normal then started shouting at me in the alarm tone. Once I woke up it had been going off for about five minutes and everyone in my dream was just aahh aahh aahh aahh aahh aahhing at me.

2. A couple of days ago I could have sworn my alarm clock rang and I turned it off.
Then it actually did ring and I was like WTF?

3. Yes, indeed. I've also had people knocking at the door end up in my dream.

6. and when the phone rings...
I've been known to actually answer the phone and have dream conversations. The person on the other end of the phone gets very confused. This is why I no longer have a phone in my bedroom.

4. Yep.
When I was a teenager my dad said I was talking in my sleep about putting powder in the alarm clock (old wind-up type) so it would work. Needless to say, I had gone to bed in quite the altered state, and I hadn't been drinking. :rofl:

5. all the time
It's better now that I'm married because my husband will help wake me up when this happens, but I would have to buy a new alarm clock once a year (more or less) when I was younger. Once I get use to the sound, I just absorb it in my dream.

7. Yes, when I used the radio as my alarm.
If a really good song (or really just any song) was on, my subconscious would just incorporate it into my dream. Long ago, I had to switch back to bells and buzzers.

8. I've dreamed the alarm sounding.
Only when waking I'd realized that it was hours too early and the clock never sounded. I hate that, because then I can't get back to sleep after that jolt of adrenaline.

10. yes
some of my best sleep in my life has been when i was in jr.hs and hs..
I would have a dream that either my alarm went off or I woke up and it was time to get up. I got up, and a couple of minutes later would realize that it was only 2 or 3 AM. I would go back to sleep and just love it!

11. Yeah
I once picked up a smaller pillow and kept saying hello 4 or 5 times before I figured out the phone was over there still ringing, and I had a pillow in my hand.

The other day I fell asleep with the TV on the channel of a very early morning infomercial, and in the dream I was a young kid, riding in the back of my Canadian uncle's car on some type of vacation, and he kept yelling into the back seat, in an English or Australian accent, trying to sell me whatever it was that the infomercial was selling, word for word.
