Dream Laughter

OK, so I have a somewhat silly question. Whom, out of all of you (millions I am sure) that are reading this post, dream?
OK, put your hands down, seriously, are we in a classroom?
Granted, that everyone dreams but not everyone remembers their dreams.
I happen to be one of the lucky few who remembers (and emotionally experiences) her dreams most the time, for good or for terrifying.
So I had an experience a few weeks ago and again last night where I was sound asleep dreaming and I woke up laughing!!!
For real! Laughing out loud because of something that happened in my dream!
Then of course when I realized why I was laughing I had to giggle at myself and look to see if I woke my hubby up (no worries there).
Normally I am not someone who you might call a "Sleeping Beauty" or a "Snow White" lying there beautiful with a heart full of desire to be awakened. Although I often feel like I am coming out of some kind of spell when I wake up (but I look more like Medusa than a princess and boy, can I turn people into stone with just one glare!)
I do not normally arise with a smile on my face and singing in my heart...as a matter-of-fact my husband's reflexes have got really good as he wakes me up and jumps back into a defensive position.
However, when I have had the completely refreshing experience of waking up laughing, that is an entirely different story (one to rival Disney princesses minus the snake hair).
I have been a vivid dreamer my entire life and have only experienced this about three times and all this year (it beats waking up crying or screaming or punching).
Hmmm, sounds like a set up for an analyzation of my life, I'll spare you though.
Laughing makes me happy, (you say duh) but what I mean is, even if I don't feel happy, or everything is completely going wrong (or if I have to wake up), if I can laugh, things brighten up and my emotions are actually changed! (Yeah I know, there's some scientific explanation for it all but, whatever...I'm talking about me here.)
So why do we, I, fight so hard to stay mad and not laugh or smile sometimes? I dunno, but it sure feels great when that smile wins and breaks through and the laughter bubbles out after it!
Can't think of anything that will make you smile or laugh? Grab the nearest child (a relative preferably as to not cause any law suits) and start tickling them! It's contagious! Better yet, get a baby to laugh. Works every time!
Laugh!

ps. I do realize that most people do not see "analyzation" as a real word. But I decided it is, hence my use of it. Just fyi.
