i always seem to dream more often when i'm sleepign in a different bed from my own or going through a stressful period.

ive been dreaming alot recently because i've got exams coming up which usually happens.

i think they're a sort of counter balance to relieve subconscious stress because i don't get stressed on any great conscious level when i know i really should (eg me sitting wasting time on here when ive not looked at a note for an exam i have on wednesday)

the other night i had one where i fell off of a massive tree and it actually felt like i was falling but i didn't wake up before i hit the ground. i actually landed on a corrugared iron roof shed and walked away thinking: wow that was quite a cool dent i put in that.

1. i think my brain was just needing to release some stress hormones or whatever it does by making me think i was falling 100 feet

2. i suppose that puts to bed th emyth that if you hit the ground while falling in a dream your body will think you're dead and you won't wake up.
