Dreams are basically simulations of our lives that we run, sometimes with different physical constants, resulting in different worldly behaviours. Fever dreams (not necessarily during a fever) are when we are sweeping over a range of constants, so behaviour keeps on changing.

    no dreams are the “real” world where anything can be “created” and made to “happen” . I had a dream recently where for the first time I knew I was in a dream. I just flipped and said no way this is my dream and I thought “I’m going to fly” and I just lifted off like Superman and flew around for a bit then all of a sudden I flashed to my bedroom I was still flying above my body and suddenly like a dark “rope” or arm or something like that wrapped around my waist and yanked me backwards towards my bathroom. I was pulling on the door frame and trying to to get away then I woke up.

    Maybe the dreams are true reality and what you perceive as being awake is simply a faded memory of what you believe happened. After all, your memories are mostly made up anyway.

      i would believe this, if the physics in our dreams stays consistent, which it does not

    I rarely ever feature in my own dreams. Nor do people I know. My brain invents completely fictitious stories and characters, like watching a movie or a stage play.

      i dont really have anything to add or ask, but appreciate what seems like unicode character in your username.

  • I dreamt last night that shortly after falling asleep, my dad woke me up because there was a shoot out across the street at the bank. In reality, earlier that night there was a car accident in the intersection, so there were cops and firetrucks all over the place, but it’s right in front of a bank so the first though I had seeing all the cops in front of the bank was that it was being robbed. My dream just simulated my earlier thoughts. lol
