Why is it that we are accepting of the most rediculous stories, locations, and visuals that are dreams can create as if in the dream its natural but when we wake up we realize " Hey wait, there is no water fountain in my bedroom! and my cat does not know how to speak english". Or going to sleep with the TV on is pretty interesting as whatever sound is going on in the background can have significant impact on the dreams visuals. Falling asleep during a horror movie with lots of screaming always makes for the grimmest of nightmares.
Which also leads me to wonder about the nature of dreams. There are those who say that its the souls way of working through issues, yet if our dreams can be easily influenced by sound, I am not so sure that the soul is in the drivers seat. Maybe its just our bodies way of letting us know that our imagination never rests and our dreams are not meant to be interpreted.
