.... just remembering too, although our dreams seem to last a long time while dreaming, a friend of mine had a long dream about being in the French Revolution and the dream went on and on and woke him up when in the dream he was being executed by guillotine on neck; but what had happened was a book from a rack at the head of his bed had fallen and hit him on the neck... so he felt that in those few seconds his body felt the book hit his neck he dreamed about being in the Revolutions etc... and he firmly believed taht while we think our dreams go on and on, in fact just happen in seconds... never thought to check this out til commenting here. I do have health problems and do dream of seeing doctors, getting treatment etc., kind of upsetting isn't it.
