The most desirable thing in life.....

I think dreams are how the brain resets for a new day.

Our dreams are our real life. And the nightmare of real life are us dreaming in our stasis pods.

Id like to believe that too

I have much more control of my dreams and they are AWESOME!,,,lol

I sometimes like some of my dreams ... and some I hate to wake with
those feelings ... I don't remember some of my dreams either...
maybe for a reason ... don't know ...

For the longest time I believed dreams were a way for the brain to defragment memories. Like taking memory fragments and sorting them so it can put them away where they can be accessed at a later date.

Recently (within 6 years) I had read about multi-dimensional theory. Where every reality has an infinity of possible outcomes. That in some alternate dimension a different me exists where i did something other than what I remember and it lead to a different outcome.

My dreams are often in extreme detail in full color and sound with incidentals that are too random to be only memories out of order. I suspect that some portions of my dreams are segments of those possible presents of alternate versions of myself. Perhaps memories of those alternate realities where I am slightly different or majorly different but still me. Very different from anything I know but strangely possible and accurate but for a single difference.

Then I have dreams that are completely random in nature. Like a farm machinery warehouse where everything is covered in bacon. Or closing up shop by folding it all up and putting it in my pocket. Those don't really bother me much.

It's the ones that are too close to home but slightly different that make me sit up wondering at night. The ones where everything is right except I have a different spouse or different children. I work as a mechanic but at a different place that never existed. I have even had dreams where I am a woman instead of a man. Dreams where the details are too precise. Where dust makes me sneeze or there is litter blowing in the wind.

I have had those dreams where I have witnessed my own death and they never reoccur but the other ones reoccur but seem to be on a progressive time frame. Like the same differences but I have a sense that time has moved along at a regular rate. Different settings but similar conditions. Perhaps my alternate me and I are dreaming at the same time on the same frequency or something? Or maybe it is nothing at all?

I'm curious if anyone else has dreams like this or is it just me? Where it is so real and detailed but you are you but you're not?

I believe are most made up of circumstances...
that we have had in our life ... something we did ...
something we watched ... something of wishing would happen ...
least these are the ones I remember ... I seem to be able to figure out all of those I remember ... and either wake with a good feeling or bad ... for instance I saw a big spider on TV ... and know we have some killer spiders here that large ... so I dreamed one was on me as I was waking and hitting my arm where it was ... seems my dreams lately have been more physical then before ... but I would have to think dreams come from our subconscious levels ... of whats in our own mind ...

I watch a lot of movies. I would think that my dreams would consist of movies (I watch a lot of horror lately) but they don't. I never, ever have a bad dream anymore. What wakes me up is the ones that are close to reality but jkust different enough to make me wake and say wait a minute...?

Topic: The Value of Your Dreams

I once dreamed that I ate a giant marshmallow.
The next day, I had to buy a new pillow for the price of ... Oh, forget it.

So far, I've had a wide array of all kinds of dreams. Pretty much every kind I've ever heard of. So I don't have a single answer for what I think they are about.

I've had obvious "continuation of the day" dreams, which are annoying because I end up working my tuchas off all night, and wake up stressed out, for no pay.

I've had adventure dreams, seemingly built up from things I've read, movies I've seen, etc.

I've had clear and unclear pure psychology dreams, the kind where I can tell that I was trying to say something or work something out from my subconscious. Pure Freud/Jung/Rogers stuff, that I had to ponder more intently than a weird chess problem, before I finally figured out what was going on and why.

I've had pure premonition dreams, stuff that happened eventually in reality, exactly as it did in the dream.

I've had exaggeration of my fears dreams, where what I am most concerned about in waking hours, comes true with a horrible vengeance. No idea what to classify those as.

I guess what I think most, is that everything about us is as we are. In the case of dreams, we have dreams that match up with what kind of person we are. It makes sense, since both our waking and dreaming thoughts come from inside the same head.
