I keep having dreams where I am telling myself to wake up, but I am giving myself hints and clues and not actually saying it.

When I wake in the morning thinking that the dream I had was weird, i dont see the significance of the dream. It seems that I don't get the message in the dream, and it takes me a day or so to connect the dream to the message I was trying to give myself.

I must really try harder to wake up...

Does the message have to be cryptic I wonder? Is this a feature of dreaming, you just can't tell it straight!
