Once I woke up and I couldn't move any part of my body for about ten seconds. It freaked me out so much and I couldn't think of anything but that for the rest of the day. Thank you for giving me an answer :)

[Ethan Venzin]

[Ethan Venzin]

[ZIOTSKY]

He clearly stated it.

[kjbigs282]

So basically dreams are a defragmentation of our memories?

[HArDNUCkL3S]

In my dream a lion walking like a man dressed in a tuxedo started chasing me to eat me. When i felt the claws bury on my back i woke up screaming and sweating.

True, there are many causes for dreaming, at least according to me; sometimes, as I said, when you want something SOO badly you dream of it; however, ironically, if you are AFRAID of something to happen you also dream of it.

So yeah, what you say makes sense!
