Thread: Dreams are real

I usually think of it this way:

Waking life = external reality
Dreams = internal reality

Dreams are still very mysterious in a lot of ways, and while there is no "proof" of stuff like the dead being able to visit our dreams etc, they are still valid and interesting topics of discussion.
Scientists are not supposed to decide what "should" be true and false, they are supposed to be curious about the nature of reality and try to understand it, based on acceptable evidence.
That's why you see people like Stephen LaBerge and Robert Waggoner constantly ask themselves questions about the nature of dreams - that's the spirit of passionate scientists.
