Is it normal to insist on dreaming even after you are about to wake up?

Sometimes, when I experience a very interesting dream, and I want it to continue so that I can see how it ends, I would go back to sleep even if I was about to wake naturally or has been woken by my alarm. I would sorta refuse to open my eyes so that the dream is not 'lost' and I can see the outcome of what I'm been dreaming about so far. The most recent example of such dream that I had was about me and a group being trapped in a haunted mansion together and we had to solve puzzles to get out. We were down to one of the last puzzles when I suddenly felt myself about to wake naturally. I insisted on dreaming so that I could see the rest of the dream - we had to dip a photograph in water to see a secret image or something like that. Anyway, is it normal?

    I do that all the time. Dreams are more interesting than reality for me.

    I do this too. I often realize when I am dreaming (lucid dreams) and try to stay in them, but sometimes they still fade away on their own. I don't have total control over them.
