We all know that while you dream you "see" images and simulations of the real world Edited by: Bluedrake42 |

What you're asking is that "if you bring something that appears to make sense in our dream world to the Physical world, does it lose meaning (in this case any resemblance to anything at all)?" Maybe. The world of ideas (Dream World) is, according to Plato, the perfect world. Everything that is physical is an imperfect copy, a shadow, of the world of ideas. Summarazing: Just because it doesn't make sense from a point of perspective, it doesn't mean it's entirely nonsensical.

I think it's a lot more intriguing when it only appears to make sense in the Dream world, for it is beyond your current comprehension of things. However, why do we think? Why do we have dreams? Why are we not some some very basic action-and-reaction organisms? Now your question comes along and wonders, "What about things that make have no link to anything in the real world". TL;DR: We have acquired some form of mental retardation mutation a long time ago in the evolutionary chain that is not harmful or benefical to our survival, and that mutation makes us see, sometimes, things in our dreams that mean jackshit.

in psychology it's thought that dreams are only the brain making sense of random signals sent by the pons. There's a fun exercise where you the fleeting moments before you fall asleep, you try to backtrack to how you got to your current thought, often times you can't and the thought itself doesn't make sense at all. our brain still thinks this without any alert going off that your thinking wrong like when you become aware you are doing a math problem incorrectly, our brain for dreaming takes random signals and puts them into context. |

Also it is said that while you are dreaming in brain activates problem solving regions, so many scientists think that brain is solving and thinking out some of the problems that occur in physical world... Edited by: Flash112 |

How can you see? There's no light when they're closed. "Dreams are like rivers, and I'm just in for the ride." I say a mixture of memories, whether past, present or future , and (depending on the person) free thinking/manipulation of those. Or something like that. -- Fractals, fractals, everywhere; on the ground and in the air. |
