How Come Dreams Take...?

Question

Well I've always had this question in my mind. How come dreams seem like they are so short, but they take like 10 hours to process or something. How come? Like one time I remember I had a dream about my friend was hanging off of a chandelier and then the teacher walked in. That was it. I went to bed at 9 and I woke up at 6 or 7. How could that be if the dream was so short??

I am just wondering. :-)

Answer 1

lol i wish i knew too. I've wondered that as well. sorry can't help though.  

Answer 2

You don't dream all night,just a portion of it.

Answer 3

you dream a lot of dreams every night, but you only remember the ones that you dream when you wake up :)

the dream actually isn't short; it's just that it seems like it.

i think your brain is just processing, like you said. :D
