You don't know what dreams are. And you don't know what becomes of the dead.

Dreams are my mind making sense of this world. And one thing I know about the dead is that they stop being here. Their bodies become lifeless, and since I am here and have life, I guess I exist.

You do not know you are alive. You might be dead.

Really you can't prove you exist unless you go by someone elses opinion of what existance actually is...

Yeah, I think it's all to do with your brain though. That seeing a light and all that is because you start to get tunnel vision when your brain is shutting down (so I've heard anyway)

Yeah it's crazy lol as I said before, all people know is other Humans opinions on what it means to exist.

SurferJay · 22-10-2009, 03:19 PM

SurferJay · 22-10-2009, 03:25 PM

because we have the ability to think then we have to exist even if we are a figment of someone else's imagination

What is the purpose of dreams, do you think?

Dreams Get Rid of Emotional Arousal

It has been agreed for some time that dreams deal with emotion. However, not all emotion causes dreaming. Only emotional arousal unexpressed while awake causes us to dream. So, for example, if you have a screaming row with your partner you are unlikely to dream about it as the emotional arousal was allowed full expression. However if you become angry with someone at work but cannot express it then this frustration will probably be played out during dreaming.

(This gives us an indication why dreams and hypnosis are interlinked.)
How Do Dreams Work?

The brain will 'flush out' emotional arousal by creating a dream of a scenario that parallels the real-life experience - a metaphor. So, the work colleague from above might be symbolised by a monster and your anger would be allowed expression as you attacked the dream creature.

If you ruminate angrily over the same issues the next day then you may well have a repetitive dream as the brain solves the same problem in the same way.

I know, Is just that your brain can't switch off and it has to be doing something? but then again according to studies we only have around 6 dreams a night

I have a theory that dreams are a temporary way to visit Alternate Realities.

To the OP I dont have a clue lol.

Was reading back through this earlier
It hurts my brain to even start thinking about lol

Doogle · 07-01-2012, 03:10 AM

I couldn't sleep and saw this, no sleep for me.

But I wonder, everyone here doubted they existed but we can't all not exist surely? I mean if none of us exist yet we all speak to each other, unless I exist and you're all just made up and don't exist. Oh god. Not even sure that made sense.

Also I LOL'd at Stu's sarcastic line to Claudia which she didn't get.
