Yeah, that *almost* occurred to me rather frequently. There was a time when I
used to have some busy Sunday mornings, and fall asleep like dead on the couch
in the afternoon; then, waking up at about 8 o'clock, I'd be like "shit, I'm
late!" - only to realize a bit later that it was still Sunday PM, not Monday
AM... always scared me wide awake though, so I'd be sober enough to realize my
error within a few moments :P

Happened to me multiple times that, after playing Riven for a few days I
dreamed of being there. Well, not really there, but similar worlds.

	Plenty of times. Not limited to HS, either.

Has anyone ever tried making a POV model of "worlds" you've seen in dreams?

	Pity he doesn't have access to Hulu. They're all there.

	Actually, I'd just say watch the movie ("Serenity"). Almost everyone I
know found it to be far superior than the series (which was also good).
If he doesn't like the movie, there's no way he'll like the series.

	Much more so. Had I seen the series first, I may not have considered
watching the movie.

	Within the same night - sure. As in get up for a drink of water or
something, and then resume the dream.

	Continuation of a dream that occurred on a different night - I think it
happened, but it's extremely rare for me.

This is more what I meant -- sometimes the earlier dream will have 
happened months or years ago.  This is admittedly relatively rare for me 
too.

I've started the process a few times, but never gotten anywhere 
interesting. I generally find that when I'm trying to recreate something 
that wasn't designed or ease of modeling from the get-go then my skills 
aren't up to the task.

Hm... my "sleep cars" never had bad brakes. But occasionally I'd be dreaming to
be driving down a slope, and not able to step on the brake hard enough to bring
the car to a full halt. Always managed to avoid any accidents, but more often
than not that was just because I kind of convinced myself during the course of
any such crash that it was a bad idea to be having it, and better continue in a
"revised edition" of the dream :P

As far as flying is concerned, I never needed planes for that. Just concentrate,
and rise myself up into the air :D (It very much felt like lifting some weight,
only that I seemed to be using muscles different from those commonly known to
anatomy experts)

Hm... now that you mention it, I might enjoy modelling a few scenes from a
particularly impressive dream I once had. But I'll not say anything about it -
it's too emotional for me, and indeed needs images instead of words.
