Like I said before, I consider that a blessing.
I’ve had similar feelings - waking up and hoping I can fall back a asleep quick enough to to go back into the same dream.
Where we differ widely is I’ve been to the city in my dreams before... often different parts of the city and into different buildings. What wakes me up is my ‘watcher- (I have a really strong sub-conscience’) - the part of me that decides what’s real and what’s not - and in the dream that part of me says, ‘this is too beautiful to be real’ - and I wake up.
