I'm so sleepy.
I have slept for about 18 hours and I'm still sleepy.
Last night, I dreamed that I have had fun with my friends in a big hotel, and we lived in different rooms.
When we checked out, I can't couldn't find several friends and I'm so I was very scared.
Strange dream, huh?
By the way, I hope to talk with you on skype.

Last night I had a dream. In the dream, I am having fun with my friends in a big hotel. We are staying in different rooms. When we check out, I realise I can't find several of my friends, and I am so scared.

[Dreams are often described in both the present and past tense. Often, past tense is used to describe a dream. But when you are vividly recalling a dream and its details, you can use present tense. You describe the dream like a stream of consciousness, as it happens. If you Google "tense when describing a dream", you will see a bunch of references.
Thank you for making me think about your question. ~~Andrew]
Hi Andrew Donald
I have a similar question to key's when to use present or paste tense. How to describe a footage of movie that you saw months ago . Should I use past tense or present tense? I checked some movies mentioned on websites in present tense . I am just wandering how to describe if these events took place before but it is a fact now , eg Gandhi's story .
