Here's what I believe about dreams: basically the brain is dual core. This means there are 2 you's inside, the conscious you (CY) and the unconscious you (UY). The CY are you right now reading this, controlling your body and actions when you're awake.
CY does things, learns things and builds memories in real life. Then at the resting phase you go to sleep and the UY gets control but stays disconnected from the body. UY creates the dreams by using pure imagination and the memories created by the CY. When dreams don't make sense the UY doesn't know that because it lacks the logic and life experience of CY, all UY has are shared memories and lots of imagination.
So when CY gets awoken you wonder why the dreams were so weird and didn't make sense but "you" didn't realize they made no sense (dream of dead people as if they were still alive, doing impossible things, not realizing sudden change of scenery etc). You adopt the dream memories of UY as your own, mistakenly, because memory is shared. UY is creating fake realities from imagination and fragments of real life memory but UY is not you.
Furthermore when people are genuinely insane that is when UY awakens abnormally when it shouldn't. It probably also awakens for those who consume drugs and are tripping. In the case of sleepwalkers the UY awakens normally but gets abnormal control of the body.
But I'm not a doctor or psychiatrist so maybe this is complete bullshit as a theory. Maybe the truth is simpler, such as when you sleep a lot of your brain shuts down so the dreams are the by-product of a partially shut down brain coping with being disconnected from the body.
I don't have much to add other than the dream/drug thing makes sense because when I wake up to go to the bathroom and I'm still half asleep, the floor or wall will "move" the same way it does when you do hallucinogens, like your gif.
there certainly is a disconnect, which like mentioned might explain genuinely insane behavior, schizophrenia or hallucinations the conscious mind can't comprehend but maybe seen in dreams and in the subconscious where its perfectly normal
I found whenever I’m talking to someone in a dream about a past event or generally trying to remember past things, I always recall memories only from other dreams, whether weeks or months ago, and never any memory from reality. Although the setting of the dream might be familiar, my entire past will be randomised to correlate to what is happening at the time
