Furiosity is difficult to reconcile with sleeping. Furiosity indicates a high level of agitation. Agitation naturally leads to activity. There must be some constraint preventing this from happening. Learned helplessness could account for this. Alternately we could interpret this to mean the ideas are actually quite active although they appear dormant.
Incidentally Noam Chomsky used this sentence in 1957 as an example of a grammatical sentence that probabilistic grammar models would find ungrammatical. link
