Why we dream, what we dream, how the most far fetched things make sense or seem realistic in dreams? This has to be one of the most unexplained phenomenon.

How some dreams stick with us for sometimes days like a relative event? How the smallest things, people, or memories from decades ago tend to pop up when in reality there’s hardly any memory at all that ever crosses your mind.

What if our life is just another persons dream and when they wake up we die?

It’s a nightly trip into the subconscious mind.

Wet dreams tend to stick with you for a while too

I fell down a lucid dreaming rabbit hole the other night.

There are some techniques to follow so you can do it almost on demand.

Dunno, do you consider dog as humans?

My dog is dreaming right now and it is probably about hunting small ground game.

I believe dream state is a possible conduit to other…well, for lack of a better word, realms .

All mammals dream, so do birds.

For me, my dreams are often like a funhouse mirror version of my life, often a couple weeks behind. For example, if I go on a vacation, probably 10 days after I left for it, I will start having dreams about going on that vacation.

People in my life are often present in my dreams, but they tend to exhibit their most extreme personality traits. Someone whom I think is nice irl will be extraordinarily kind and loving. Someone who is cruel to me will appear as an angry psychopath. It’s like this weird distorted version of how my brain processes events.

I would say consciousness itself is the most unexplained. We simply know jack shite about its origins.

Dreams seem to be moments that are moments being placed in our memory hard drive

It's the brain making you take a DMT trip. Same thing likely happens when we die or are close to death. Brain releasing chemicals as usual.

I rarely remember my dreams, but one night last week I woke up in a panic.

I was dreaming that I was in my garage when a tornado dropped down in the road in front of my house. I've never experienced a dream so intense. Not sure what spawned a dream like that, but my heart was racing when I woke up.

It's not a human-specific phenomenon.


Other species dream too

My dog dreams. He chases shite, barks at shite, yelps, farts. It’s pretty funny sometimes.

I read a study of a theory on memories and the most interesting facet was that when we recall a memory, we “take it out” of its memory bank and we “put it back in” when we are done thinking about it. This explains how some (not all) memories seem to change over time. Made sense to me anyway.

So maybe dreams are our brains’ way of de-fragmenting our memories.

Want to get even more confused about dreams?

Prior to color tv, most people would dream in grayscale.

This has been reproduced in studies where kids are shown only black and white tv shows.
