I am curious. Many of Dreamviews members can jump in an out dreams and I wonder: What do they believe DREAMS are? I have been researching that same question for a couple of years now and I can assure you there is still no scientific consensus on the topic (just a pile of theories).
That leaves YOU the most qualified people to go to: explorers who actually have been there.
I don’t want to fix preconceived ideas but - in order to start a conversation - I’ll list the most commonly accepted notions about What DREAMS ACTUALLY ARE. Please vote for any of the bellow or include your own opinion.
(A) Dreams are messages from our unconsciousness (This was Freud idea and there are many modern scientific studies that claim to prove it is wrong).
(B) Dreams are random images from our memory.
(C) Dreams are side products of the memory consolidation process.
(D) Dreams are experiences we have in a parallel universe.
(E) Dreams are information we receive from the Collective Unconsciousness (Jung’s suggestion).
(F) Dreams are information we receive from ourselves, originally encoded in our DNA.
(G) Dreams are information we receive from other sources.
Please give your opinion. I would gladly share a huge amount of info I had gathered on the subject.
