What Are Dreams

What Are Dreams?

Life is simple, maybe!

The Problem:

I’m Curious what dreams really are, and where they come from. What are your ideas about them, and what do you think about them?

Dreams

Most people when they go to sleep will have dreams. Some people tend to have more vivid dreams than others, but everyone has some dreams that they remember. It is pretty cool we can close our eyes and go to sleep, and dream about things that most people are unable to imagine while awake.

Sometimes people have nightmares. Which makes a person wonder, what are dreams, and where do they come from? Just how does a dream come to be formed in our minds?

Here is a very good article about dreaming. It has some interesting facts about actually dreaming. I found it useful for some things.

Some say that dreams come from Morpheus, and that is an interesting concept. There is an idea that I have about dreams, and maybe it takes some explaining to get it right.

Programs

Are dreams, simply programs that run in our heads, and sometimes present us with choices or information? Maybe they are there to challenge our ideas, or at least make us stop and think a little bit. If they are programs, I would like to know who is at the terminal and who is programming some of this stuff.

I’ve had some really far out dreams sometimes. They make me think. They have also caused me suffering, pain, anxiety, and loss of control. Strange stuff.

Multiverse Theory

Just watched a movie, Dr. Strange and the multiverse of madness. It isn’t really a movie that I would recommend, however they presented an interesting concept that made me think.

Maybe dreams are other lives in the multiverse? Things that are really happening, in other parts of the multiverse? That is an interesting idea. I have to really wonder if that might be where some of these dreams really come from. What are your thoughts?

Is the multiverse somehow responsible for our dreams? It would be interesting to know the truth about this.

Future

Are dreams glimpses of the future, or the past? Don’t know if they are, but my hope is that dreams are programs that run in my mind, and have nothing to do with the future. That would scare the living crap out of me. I’ve had some really bad night terrors. Things I wouldn’t wish on anyone, not ever. Life is but a dream, if that is true, it is a damn nightmare I want to wake up from and be better off from it.

Substrate

Dreams can be really cool stuff, sometimes they are really very good, and can be neat. Sometimes, a person can wake up from their dreams, when they realize they are dreaming, and other times, you know you are dreaming, and won’t wake up. I’ve had a few of those kinds of dreams. They seem so real.

Sometimes, people talk with me in my dream. That is always interesting. I don’t get much conversation in the dreams, but sometimes people have things to say. It is kind of cool.

Journals

Some people keep dream journals. That might help sometimes, a lot of the time, my dreams are so awful, that I don’t write them down, other than to note that another night of terror.

Control

What I would like is the ability to control my dreams. Sometimes it feels like I’m in control, however when i try to change the dream, it always wakes me up. Seems the dream in non-interactive in some ways. Sometimes, the picture is really perfectly clear.

It would be nice to be able to control the dreams we have. Seems the only control over our dreams are the ones we have while we are awake. Some of those dreams, I would like to see come true. Just the really good ones. Yet again, I would like to wake up from this dream. Want a better world to live in. Need some new wet wear, and a better life. I dream of that while awake.

What is your dream?

Everyone has a dream, that they would like to see come true. As long as my dreams while sleeping don’t actually happen. Well, some of the good ones would be nice. That wouldn’t be awful. Yet, it would be safer to just have the dreams I have while I’m fully conscious to be the ones that come true.
