About Dreams

Shawn February 15, 2020 at 15:33 700 views 1 comments
A dream is essentially a recording on top of a recording.

The purpose of dreams seems to be a sort of artificial stimulation of emotions intertwined with highly vivid imagery. I never have violent dreams; but, something else troubles me about my dreams. It led me to the conclusion that I have a high degree of alexithymia. I have a very hard time distinguishing my emotions when presented with the imagery of dreams. The narrative tone of the dream stands out very high in my dream world and along with a strong desire to learn.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

Not really.

I dream every other night.

Sometimes dreams are strange because what you're doing when awake is wrong...

I only get a good dream, regularly, but I've had strange dreams.

Dreams sometimes help to clear my heart after day of smoking tobbaco, sometimes this process requires that they be strange.

Why do dreams help me this way? Is it my minds own love for my heart?

I'm not saying dreams are a schizophrenia, however, if something regularly presents itself, it can be considered a personality.

I treat my dreams as a ongoing coversation and evolving imagery.

The state and what it means to me, directly and indirectly, can hold a coversation. Tonights dream will be a follow up. I say 'yes, actually', now, to a image in the dream from last night.

If I have a thought, such as I did the other day about 3D space being wrong, it willfully aids me in my thoughts. I was told the answer in dreams.

I've dreamed so much with so much science, I don't believe lucid dreams exist.

When are you ever in control? Did you really bend the dream your way? Wasn't it just a good dream with special effects?
