- I wonder what would happen if you tried whispering in your dreams, instead
- of talking aloud.
-
- I'm not so sure that you'll always be audibly talking in real life when

- I've read that if you fall asleep within about two minutes of an awakening,
- you aren't likely to remember having been awake. You might have been sort
- of awake, in some in-between state. Or it might have been one of your
- dream characters secretly communicating with the outside world, talking
- about you behind your back.
