The bed in my hotel room is a little bit small for me though it is in the standard size in Japan. The other day, I woke up as I fell down from it. I didn't understand what had happened to me for a while because I was still in my dream. I remembered the story of my room just at that time, but I've forgotten it at all now. One thing I still remember is that it was quite natural in the long context of my dream that I fell down. As I experienced a lot of things in my long dream, it should have taken more than minutes to playback whole of the dream. However, it was an accident that I fell down from my bed and it must have been impossible to anticipate it in the middle of the dream. I wonder how the context of my dream and the fact that I fell down were connected so smoothly. Do I have a second sight and I could anticipate my falling in advance? Or is my brain is so fast that I could playback the long dream just in the second when I dropped off the bed towards the floor? I sometimes think that my life might be a dream which can be played back in a second and forgotten in a minute.
This bed is too narrow for your giant body!!!! Ha Ha

I think the second is correct, that when something happens in your dream, your brain makes up a long story to explain it and plays it much faster than if you were experiencing it in real time.
Time and the brain is pretty interesting.
