I now have an explanation as to why there are crowds of people in my head that wake me up every once in awhile. Apparently, REM sleep is also accompanied by Rapid-Ear-Movement. The hammer & stirrup inside your ear, along w/all those other 'hearing' mechanisms, go into overdrive when you dream. So some people hear mechanical or electronic tones, other people (including myself at times) hear something like footsteps - sometimes, it's your own name being called out. The noises can be exceptionally LOUD to the sleeper, and of course, undetectable to anyone else in the room.
Watching (well, listening to, anyway) something on the Discovery Channel about the Bermuda Triangle (which has slowly been getting bigger since the '70's). They always focus on the thousand-or-so ships & planes that have disappeared out there, but never on the hundreds of thousands of ships & planes that go across that water every year w/absolutely no incidence whatsoever. There's a big-ass trench out there (the Puerto Rico Trench), and a continental shelf. Of course, if something sinks, it's going to be almost impossible to find. If things fall into the Marianas trench, you're not going to find them either. Duh.
