Dreams states can be extremely powerful (see the countless threads here on lucid dreaming or sleep paralysis). In fact taking an afternoon nap today I was in an awkward sleeping state and I started listening to some outdoor vehicle noise (some horns and some beeping) then as I started to fall into sleep my head was filled with the most awful extreme static/electronic/screeching noise. I was honestly in pain and so in shock I just became stiff. It pry online lasted a few seconds before I awoke fully, but it felt like minutes.
Anyway, point is that at certain points in the sleep cycle some very strong (and sometimes very crazy or even frightening) things can happen. It's actually very interesting and the up-side to this experience is that if you are a person who has this sort of thing occur to you naturally then you are in an ideal position to learn how to use these experience and train yourself to make a lot out of them (again read up on lucid dreaming).
