what the FUCK is with dreams? I think its one of the spookiest mysteries of modern science. weird things about dreams:>the ability of your subconscious to create vivid, breathing worlds engaging all your senses and reacting to all of your conscious actions and thoughts is kind of frightening to me. goes to show you how immensely powerful our subconscious is and how much of our actual decision making happens without even processing why.>what is the evolutionary advantage of these resting hallucinations? is there even one to begin with? we know animals dream too, so it would suggest there IS some kind of benefit to this, but what could it possibly be>the nature of the dreams themselves. why do so many of them seem to involve our deep seated fears, anxieties, regrets, and hopes for the future?>lucid dreaming and partially lucid dreaming. I have a weird thing where I will generally suspect something is a dream, and I will worry that its not real (because my dreams are usually the life I WISH I had) but convince myself in the dream that its real. I also have an ability to consciously stop the dream once it gets uncomfortable and I want out. its like I dont know Im dreaming, but then once it gets scary I immediately know I can just end it anytime, then Ill close my eyes and wake up. fucking weird>what it says about the very nature of consciousness itself. why is there even a "me" consciousness seperate from the rest of our brain to begin with? why does this conscious retard need to be entertained in some imagined space?the more i think about it the more fucking weird it is.
>>16871028literally biological AI vid generation
>>16871029Agreed. Remember that computer generated interactive minecraft on the web? My dreams look sorta like that.
>>16871028My dreams are Hollywood blockbuster movies only better.Time-travel, action combat or weird spiritual stuffI was doing some sort of lessons. I think Brazilian. So something happened and the teachers stopped coming or something. So the lessons got cancelled. I tell the guys we would have gotten mad pussy if we learned Brazilian and went to Brazil. I think I'm a woman now. I'm in a foreing city. Looking for my car after the lessons got cancelled. Dangerous cyberpunk kind. I'm tying to get to my car, but I'm lost. And it's getting kind of dangerous. I finally find it and it's been destroyed with stones. . Anyway some weird shit with super powers start happening. There is these dudes with superpowers I don't remember it gets hazey. Anyway now I"m somewhere else and a man again. There is some sort of war or attack going on. A huge kind of fruit has appeared and I'm in a school or facility. We start eating the fruit which will give us super power. I eat from all parts of the fruit which give different super powers.
>>16871053There is also a mysterious evil dude reappearing who is very super powerful and is injecting people. Anyway I'm not the son of this dude and I have super powers. Apparently these are alien fruit and whoever eats them gets powers. He explains to me that once a blob matures in my hand this is when my powers will be at their zenith. But also there is a second blob. When it matures the alien overlords will take over my body and invade the Earth. He got rid of his second blob but won't explain how. He says he guesses it's his personality. Anyway apparently there is some sort of organization which has super powers. They inject the girl from the classes and the other people from the classes with some experimental super power stuff. They expect them to go insane like it happens sometimes. I follow them, but they turn out ok. I explain what is happening to the girl. And we are in some flying cars or trains. She is the more powerful from these guys but I'm more powerful than her. And the only one who is more powerful than me is my father. But I have the potential to surpass me cause im just a teenager or something. I tell the car I'm the guy from the German classes. And she says yeah I remember you got kicked out from it.
>>16871055Next scene they are giving the magic fruit to everyone in the population. They decided it's the best way to defend from the aliens. THere is with a junky who goes to the get some food from welfare. He is very thin. He takes the food which is injected with super power serum. He doesn't know, nobody knows, but he has drugs hidden in the food which he takes. He is very happy. But then a voice sounds and tells him to eat the food. He is forced to eat and he likes it very much, because it's like a drug and it gives him super power. The end there is some sort of convention. The mysterious man from the start, my father, who was an evil figure in the beginning but then good, is part of the council of the people with super powers. It is held in some place with super power people who live in a cave like bads. There is a member of each super power clan speaking and they have their entourage too. My fathers name is Marzly. A woman challenges him and says they never sanctioned to give everyone super powers. But he did it anyway. I don't remember how it ends but I woke up.
>>16871028Dream world is connected.It's like an alternate reality.Your previous dreams influence the next one and your dream self knows every other dream.One time I dreamt I was being chased by a monster and it was trying to kill me.At some point I gave up and said whatever just kill me I'm tired of running.It slashes my chest and kills me.Only I didn't wake up like normally when you die in a dream.I rose and became a ghost.After this dream, my dreams have been completely altered.
>>16871028>what is the evolutionary advantage of these resting hallucinations?Here is my guess. Not all of your brain is asleep at once. There are still bits that are occasionally active while it is recovering that result in experiencing nonsense information. You forget most of this quickly after waking up because animals who remembered were disadvantaged by fear and confusion from this nonsense information while surviving in the wild. Something similar to hallucinogenic plants using this as a defense mechanism. Either that or you forget it quickly because your hippocampus is not recording it while you sleep.In any case I don't think it's particularly meaningful or prophetic. These are just things people think about while awake but disorderly because their brain is recovering from a day of activity and only partially active.
>>16871062>In any case I don't think it's particularly meaningful or prophetic.I want to add they might still be a good source of some interesting stories and creative ideas.
>>16871028>go into prolonged resting period at night since cant do much at night and need time to rest to prevent burnout and heal>dont need as much brain power in action since sitting still in dark>sensory perception and higher thinking brain areas turn off>brain cant turn all the way off so basically goes into idle mode>runs through fanciful simulations in idle mode to occupy itself until rest period is over
>>16871062Lay still and recollect the dream when you wake up. Moving around makes recall difficult.
