      Beauty in dreams

      Hello...

      I had a thought this morning after waking up from a dream in which a perfectly beautiful girl featured. All throughout the day she was all I thought about. I could remember the feeling I had in the dream, and I could remember every detail of her in my head.

      Which got me thinking about beauty in dreams. I always seem to dream of stunningly beautiful people or places, beauty that is never matched in the real world.

      My questions are: is beauty accentuated in dreams?
      is our brain more receptive to beauty when sleeping?
      why is the beauty we experience in dreams so affective and long lasting in the real world?

      Thanks for reading,
      Will

      I think these questions are unique to the person, so ask yourself!

      If you believe dreams are a sub-concious way that the brain uses to train yourself what to do in certain circumstances/situations, then you might consider that your brain is presenting you with an ideal mate, so that when you come into contact with someone with aspects or qualities like the perfect mate, your body is already reacting and preparing.

      Or it's your brain filling in the blanks with mathematical precision which it notices, but you don't - like being able to tell something isn't perfectly round, you just know it isn't , without tools.


      I've never come across an unattractive woman in my dreams...

      Perhaps it's because, with the power of our mind, beauty can be personally mastered to our own preferences in dreams. Dreams are famous because they give us the potential to construct perfect harmonies and utopias that follow our unique preferences. That's why it's so affective upon us after waking, because the real world very rarely offers such accurate favors. So, most likely, you experienced a mastery of beauty that cannot be experienced in waking life, and even in dreams it does not occur often.

      For example, I have a liking for forests, and I occasionally dream walking through a spacious forest, populated with grandfather oak trees. The beauty of it is astronomical and is something I will probably never see in real life. These experiences are what make dreams... dreams.
