Thread: You, the Dream Character

Okay, now back to the thread:

I think what LittleZoe was talking about here (correct me if I'm wrong, LittleZoe) is more a philosophic look at self-awareness and ego than it is a scientific study of dream residue and memory.

In other words, the real thing to think about, when considering that dreams are constructed with the images -- even incomplete ones -- is that your image, or some portion of it, is present in someone else's dreamscape, just because you happened to walk by that someone else once during waking life. And by extension, if you live and move in a crowded environment like a city, traces of your image might be turning up in the dreams of thousands of other people, every night.

Squint hard enough, and this idea almost casts a tiny shimmer of immortality! Pretty cool!
