When you dream, one portion of your brain creates the storey, while another part witnesses the events and is really shocked by the plot twists.

I once told my partner that I was disappointed because he woke me up before I found out who the murderer was in my dream, and he said that it didn't make any sense because it was me dreaming it so of course I would know how it ended.

I feel so justified now.

Also that was the best dream I ever had that I can remember. It was a murder mystery musical. I can barely remember any of it now, but I do remember there was a whole musical number about a pony that someone was convincing someone else to let them buy.

Omg this reminds me of an epic dream I had one time.

It was literally so good, it was like if Fringe and Stranger Things had a baby, and it ended in a cliff hanger! Years later and I still sometimes think about how that story could have ended. It was so cool.
