It seems to me to the extent one can remember and describe a dream, one has the tools to generate it.  Supposing that dreaming is a distributional learning process that moves experiences into long term memory, and is not surprising that a lot of high energy events would arise:  Weird plots with unusual interactions of objects and agents.  What is surprising to me is not that there this is disorder, but that there is order.   For example, I recently woke up in a dream, let the dog out, and then the dream continued like a half hour later.  It is like there is a training procedure underway, that was suspended and restarted.
