Thread: What are dreams?

yes actually i am. it is quite amazing to me how our brains work.i am going to be taking psychology,sociology, and philosophy next year

I am also planning on doing psychology next year

I spent the last 2 years doing A-level Psychology. One topic was on sleep and dreaming, which I did very well in, due to my personal interest in the subject.

No one really knows why humans dream. There are only theories. The most widely accepted theories are all backed up by plenty of research, brain scans in particular.

One study found that the brain stem is active, sending apparently random impulses to the frontal lobe. This tries to make sense of the simluation it receives, creating dreams. This explains the random and bizarre nature of dreams.


Sorry, but the details may be a little fuzzy. I did this about half a year ago, and there is a lot to know for psychology so I forgot some of it. There was another explaination I learnt, but I can't recall it. I think I prefered it over the above.

A class psychology you say? then you would know that they do have an answer: DMT, you are basically transported to another dimension. People are too afraid to say it, but we do know this: DMT is released in the cortex of our brains and voila. Now the only way people can describe the state of DMT is being transported to another dimension. Not a hallucination, another dimension. People don't like calling drugs higher dimensional states, because shit: the most potent hallucinations come from DMT which is fed in our brains when we dream. that is the answer the end

I think dreams are how we think.
We get all of our ideas from our dreams whether we remember them or not.

I use the technique called sleep programming to know The Truth
to anything I want to know. For eample, say I don't know
the answer to the question: "IS THE NUMBER ONE A PRIME NUMBER?"

I just program my sleep in the following way:

I say OUT LOUD:

"I WISH TO KNOW THE TRUTH: IS THE NUMBER ONE A PRIME NUMBER?"

Then I go to sleep and I get a dream that night explaining
the answer to my question.

So when I wake up the next morning - I am now thinking
according to my dream. I am thinking The Truth.
