and in it, I realized that I had to poop.

so I got to a toilet, sat down and did my thing

and I pooped

and pooped

and pooped

and pooped

and pooped....




until I thought it was physically impossible to poop more, I got up


and then I realized

I had to poop more.

so I ran back to the toilet

and pooped

and pooped

and pooped

and pooped

and pooped

I think this "get up" and then run back and poop more might have happened a few more times

so I just pooped more.


and then eventually I woke up, and oddly enough upon awakening I did not have to poop at all.



how bizarre.
 
when you dream, your brain has a way to prevent yourself from doing any movement in reaction from something occuring in your dreams. There's a way to disable that function though by removing a certain part of the brain, and that's how we discovered animals also dream (the cat was dreaming of running after a mouse and was really running and attacking an imaginary mouse)
 
I should get back to my psychology books, but they were explained in the same way, the brain forgot to prevent the body from doing anything while sleeping.
