Weird question but is it possible to remain in the rem stage for the entirety of sleep? even when i am gently woken up, the gentle piano alarm incorporates itself into my dreaming, and when i go back to sleep a dream can start almost immediately?

: REM sleep is but a stage of the sleep process, and others phases precede, follow, and may repeat. There is a REM sleep disorder, where the patient has agitated movements of arms and legs instead of immobility. But this too occurs in a progressive pattern.
