One thing that has never ceased to amaze me is the construction of dreams by the human mind while one sleeps. It would not be so amazing if sleep merely caused one's brain to bring up random memories while you were asleep in no particular order, but, instead, an entire story, or series of stories, with plots and everything plays through one's head like a movie or television show in which the sleeper is the main character. There is intrigue, mystery, comedy, horror, parodies, romance, and much more that one's brain strings together from various memories, no matter how obscure, of things that have been seen, heard, or experienced throughout the waking hours. Even things that that one is planning on doing in the future are played out ahead of time, some times quite preposterously and othertimes in a way that is quite believable. The believable dreams are usually the ones that scare a person the most. The ideas that evil men may be robbing the house, a wild cat carrying off younger siblings, the house may be being burned down, or that you are going to be kidnapped by some cruel people can wreck havoc on the brain, especially since one usually wakes up in from those dreams in the middle of the night when the house is dark and no noise is completely explainable. Other times, people one hasn't seen in years show up as characters with which you talk, play, laugh, and have adventures. People, objects, and places in dreams are almost always fuzzy and never quite in focus, and yet they seem very real and can cause strong emotions in a person even though nothing of what is happening is real, or even looks completely real. Every time one falls asleep, they never know what adventure they will encounter or how the story of the dreams will play out.
