I think this could still apply to non-lucids though. |

Sorry for the long title, I really can't summarise it any shorter. I was browsing through a dream article when I came across this passage. |

I've thought about this theory some and I've always had a bit of a problem with it. It seems to be kind of hard to prove. Though, I have a question: If it is just random neurons firing, how come there are recurring dreams? How come some of the same elements show up consistently? |

In actual fact Hobson's theory is now thought of as pretty outdated. From his researched he surmised that the signals which create the preconditions for dreaming originated from an ancient part of the brain called the Pons. These signals then passed through our more advanced part of the brain which is resposible for creating logic, the forebrain, which as you stated, makes sense of those random signals orignating from the pons and turns them into dream narrative and visual hallucinations. |
