In this discussion one must keep in mind that 1) Dreams don't happen during all kinds of sleep 2) Dream time is unrelated to real time 3) Dreams appear to be an attempt to resolve anomolous thoughts that become activated during REM sleep. The best information that I have on sleep research indicates that dreams are almost instantaneous but that they repeat in bursts. The dream about the bank robbery was almost certainly caused by the slamming door and happened so quickly that the dreamer's perception was that it happened during the dream rather than before it. During REM sleep, the period during which we dream, the mind seems to be in some other time zone, as it were. The best analogy might be that your mind is in fourier space during REM sleep. -- John Cornelius (...!sdcsvax!piaget!jc)
