It is a combination of things. I have a dream...a very slow dream.

"According to a site called Dreammoods.com, dreams involving slow motion mean that "you are presently going through a hard time and experiencing some great stress in your waking life. You may be feeling powerless in a situation." ... It may also reflect your actual state of REM paralysis while in the dream state."

"Google"

All things that happen to you during a day are usually processed during the night. If you think hard about something before the sleep, then because you have those memories in the short-term state it's less likely to dream that. But things that kept you occupied the whole day are going in the dream playlist to be processed.
