The seat of dreams in the brain is a moot point, the link between dreams and consciousness is something science has not really looked into all that deeply.Michael Dembinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657728002439035765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-41595224746124790452021-01-27T12:00:09.756+01:002021-01-27T12:00:09.756+01:00@ Gordon Hawley

There is, I believe, some mechanism - albeit weak, one to which the dreamer must be sensitive - that allows this to happen. It's easy to dismiss with scepticism (in this instance, the sceptic could say 'well maybe you heard the fire engines in your sleep'), but I'd go along with a human intuition - based on quantum mechanics - that is at work here. One to look into further - hence the need to a quantitative study of dreams.Michael Dembinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657728002439035765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-65067318646430145192021-01-25T23:17:43.783+01:002021-01-25T23:17:43.783+01:00I've had many instances where my dreams forete...I've had many instances where my dreams foretell the future. It's really unusual and a bit unsettling. It happened again just this past weekend. I had a dream about a fire in the hills. I wasn't sure of the specific location. Woke up Sunday morning and lo and behold there's smoke in the hills I can see from where I live. This isn't the first time I've had something like this happen. Wish I could dream about the winning lottery numbers.Gordon Hawleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-38555464025397883552021-01-25T21:41:57.054+01:002021-01-25T21:41:57.054+01:00One or two insights from me about dreams (and ther...One or two insights from me about dreams (and there is a veritable animal menagerie here – a coincidence?) - <br /><br />I have discovered that whenever my dream narrative involves having to do some sums (even basic ones) or writing something down on paper (where your eye can see your hand guiding a pen on a piece of paper), the cogs in the brain grind slower and slower and the dream ends disappointingly with me failing to do either. Could be evidence that dreams don’t really belong to the part of the brain responsible for higher mental processes. The lizard brain then?<br /><br />Internalized fears probably outnumber internalized amusement by a large factor but occasionally we laugh through our dreams. I grew up on a farm and the first source of amusement available to me was the farm cats’ antics. All dreams when I was heard laughing through my sleep in my life involved cats. (I wonder if the popularity of cats on the internet has something to do with the human race’s capacity to feel relaxed at the deepest level?)<br /><br />Animals dream too. I have seen both cats and dogs swipe their paws over their head in sleep as if to chase away something and wake up abruptly with that goofy look in their eyes.<br />Jacek Kobahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602096438710949362noreply@blogger.com
