Dreams on regular occasions incorporate what is happening around you, whether you left the radio on faintly, the conversation will in some manner, be manifested into your dreams'
story and scape; or if the relatives are over and cooking while you are napping, what is going on the present area, and your ambient senses can pick up upon, other than your vision obviously, will more than likely, affect the scenario playing out in your mind.
I have had dreams like those I'm sure, but I'd be lucky if I can recall precisely what any of them were roughly about in nature... my dreams tend to translate like a sliding reel, story to story, only loosely being associated to the previous one. The really strange things that occur when I am semi--conscious and intuitively-aware of my surroundings are that items tend to appear/disappear. I have awoken to find valuable keys missing, where I recall a shadowy figure in my room, but when confronting family and friends, they deny that it ever occurred, claiming I lost it instead. Other times I have arised to find odd things in my vicinity, of which there is no suitable explanation of why it's there, or how I came to find it—the most notable experience is where I took a quick nap during Halloween a few years back, where I was gathering a cold and decided to rest before inviting trick-or-treaters. I awoke to a phone call from my family saying they were nearing home, and should be there within 15 minutes; so, after a couple hours' rest, and taking care of the festivities' to come, I notice on my nightstand a "Pokemon Red Gameboy Cartridge". Now, I was home alone, resting, in the downstairs' guest room, where we rarely occupy and venture to other than to dust & clean monthly, and I happen to discover a kid's videogame not two feet away from my eyes. I'm obviously groggy, but then quickly shift to distraught because I have no idea how it arrived in my general vicinity, who could have placed it there in an empty house that was locked (I checked afterwards, with the phantom item in hand), and what the message behind it was. My household hasn't owned a Gameboy since 1995.
