I thought I would put this in lifestyle because it has to do with our day to day activities.
Our brain has a way of wanting to work problems out. This has been proven by scientists and stuff, but I'm not going to go into that.
It's a pretty simple concept. Have you ever sat down in front of the TV, and started watching a show like CSI or some kind of mystery show, and you just couldn't leave because you needed to see the outcome? This is because your brain is always trying to figure out problems and what happens.
This is relevant day to day in annoying situations. Have you ever been on a bus or a subway when people were talking with each other? If you notice the only annoying person is the one talking on the phone. This is because your brain is trying to fill in the missing parts of the conversation, and it will never know for sure.
This is also the reason we have dreams that come true sometimes. In our subconscious we think of the outcomes of current events. This will make your mind go wild, and start thinking of the most viable outcome.
I just thought this was interesting, and others would too. Thanks for reading, and feel free to discuss.

I have déjà vu around 2-3 times a week because of this.
If anyone has seen the movie idiocracy the OP's post is proof it'll never happen.

What is that movie about?
This is very true as I think about it. Our mind likes to stay occupied I see now, always wanting to work, incredible machines.
Example of what our minds can really do:
A lucid dream is a dream in which the sleeper is aware that she or he is dreaming. When the dreamer is lucid, she or he can actively participate in and often manipulate the imaginary experiences in the dream environment.
A dream state in which one is conscious enough to recognize that one is in the dream state and is then able to control dream events.
I apoligize if I went off topic "Codad Law", you just made me think about how amazing our minds are.

The film tells the story of two ordinary people who are taken into a top-secret military hibernation experiment that goes awry, and awaken 500 years in the future. They discover that the world has degenerated into a dystopia where advertising, commercialism, and cultural anti-intellectualism run rampant and dysgenic pressure has resulted in a uniformly stupid human society devoid of individual responsibility or consequences.

You always dream. You just don't always remember. If you didn't dream, and your mind wasn't working you would basically die. This is why scientists haven't found away to keep people frozen and bring them back. The mind becomes inactive and goes insane.
What if I'm already insane? Could I get freeze with any harm?

In the US, and most other countries, you'd have to actually already be dead to be cryonicized. That or whoever cryonicized you would be locked up for murder or assisted suicide.
Not to mention when this technology, if it ever, becomes available the doctors would not only have to reverse severe tissue damage, but they would also have to reverse the cause of death.
