Hi (((xxMSFxx)))) - I used to do the very same thing when I was younger - especially with nightmares. The only way I ever managed to keep from going right back into the dream after waking was to get up, turn on the light, read a little in a book - had to do something to really break the "thread." If I just stayed in bed and eventually went back to sleep, the dream would pick up right where it left off.
