Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

by Pamela Ball
1- There is a condition in sleeping where we becomc alert to the fact that we arc dreaming and that we can wake up. This appears partly as a way of forcing us into taking note of a particular action or circumstance, and partly to enable us to use the therapeutic tool of being able to wake up and make an adjustment to a dream which might have a happier ending.

2- To wake up in a dream can indicate that we have come out of a period of mourning and withdrawal.

3- Spiritually, to wake up signifies becoming aware.

The dream state alerts us to various ideas and concepts we should be looking at, although it may take us a little time to ‘wake up’ to them.

The Curious Dreamer’s Dream Dictionary

by Nancy Wagaman
Dreaming that you’re waking up (when you’re actually still asleep) can indicate that you’re not getting good quality sleep or that you were having a Toxic Dream.

Dreaming that it’s morning and you’re going about the day’s activities (when you’re actually still asleep) could mean you’re subconsciously “rehearsing” something ahead of time because you’re worried or because it feels important.

Dreaming that you’re sleeping and can’t get yourself to wake up can be an indication of a Toxic Dream, or it can represent: denial or a hesitance to accept reality, worry about an important task, the importance of waking up on time.
