The misconception here is that your dreams happen in real-time. That is, as soon as your brain perceives the phone ringing, your brain begins to make sense of that sound within the context of your dream (perhaps someone in your dream leads you to a phone booth). By the time, the phone rings a second or third time in reality (and you wake up), several minutes of perceived dreamtime can have gone by. I hope that makes sense. Freud did quite a bit of study on external influences on dreams. Also, the film "Stay". I know exactly what you mean. The misconception here is that your dreams happen in real-time.
