I’m a heavy sleeper and so I will occasionally sleep through an alarm. Most of the time it won’t even register with me but sometimes my brain will get around it by just incorporating the sound into my dream. This was especially weird when one morning I was sitting in the studio at the local radio station watching the morning personalities do their show. It was interesting how people would appear out of thin air as if I didn’t notice they were there until they started talking.

i don’t have an alarm clock and i am up before most of the family
Whoah – BAD dream. Better wake up soon, Biff!
Oh, and I don’t need an alarm – I have dogs. 😛
I once had a dream that I was talking to an Alot creature (Eh..It kind of looks like a cross between a bear, a yak and a pug). It made perfect sense at the time, but when I woke up I realised that it morphed into a sheep halfway through the conversation.
I’m usually quite a heavy sleeper… Just as long as a baby doesn’t cry, I sleep well. Otherwise, I wake up in the middle of the night. Kind of annoying when your neighbour brings home a new kid.

When this happens to me, I usually end up dreaming that I’m beating the tar out of my alarm clock, and it still won’t shut off. I eventually wake up annoyed.
I keep my alarm clock across the room from my bed to make me get up to turn it off. Of course, most of the time my autopilot steers me right back into bed afterwards, completely defeating the purpose of putting my alarm clock across the room from my bed.
My alarm just went off and I’ve been up since 1:30.
Sometimes, if I am watching a movie, the movie will sometimes incorporate itself into the dream.
I once had a dream about being in a telephone shop when my parents were calling to wake me up. Needless to say, that didn’t really help 😛
I usually don’t have a problem waking up in the morning. School starts at 8:45, so it almost always no problem if I get up at 7:00.
Does the impact warning siren have a “snooze” delay warning button?
That will do it every time!
Man, I can’t tell you how often I hear my dreams recounted to me on the 8:00 news…
And does hitting the ‘snooze’ button pause the impact?
😛
Last night, i dreampt of snow boots – Lots of different kinds of snow boots. Since I knew I’d be digging-out this AM, that made perfect sense to me, and when the dogs woke me, I found myself reaching for boots that weren’t there. <.<
I once had a dream about my alarm clock waking me up, dressing up and going to school, then I woke up and realized it was summer!
I’ve done this rather often – my alarm clock becomes a base alarm or something like that, and then I really get into the dream, thinking I’m in trouble.
My alarm only works if I’ve gotten more than enough sleep, if I’ve only gotten 4-5 hours then its like the alarm never even went off.
I’ve tried the ‘alarm clock on the other side of the room’ tactic, but some gremlins keep moving it. This morning, I woke up…for about five seconds. Then I went back to sleep, and was woken up by friends turning up for a lunch outing. (I didn’t have much sleep though.)
When I was in school, I’d put my alarm clock on the other side of the room, too. In the morning, I’d climb out of my bunk bed, across all of the crap piled all over my floor, turn of the alarm, then climb back across everything and back into the top bunk… without waking up!
