You know? Dreams are a really strange thing. My dog, Digory, is currently lying on the couch next to me asleep... and a couple minutes ago, he started twitching and growling. He eventually stopped and settled int a peaceful sleep, but-- Op, he's twitching again. Anyway. That got me wondering why we dream?
Recently, I've had really vivid, life-like dreams every night and woken up thinking they were real. Which is especially ridiculous because Sunday's dream included dinosaurs repopulating the earth because CO2 levels had risen so much that the global climate was warm enough to support the lifestyle of dinosaurs (don't ask.. I couldn't tell you anyway), and in Monday's dream, my dad was convinced that my dog could drive.
Some people say that dreams are expressions of your emotions, or a result of the chemical balance of your brain, or involved in 'memory consolidation'. Some people have even tried to predict the future from dreams. All these attem0pts at dream interpretation just exemplify how myserious dreams are to us.. I mean we've explored space, and the ocean... Even the internet has been around for a while. Maybe dreams are the new frontier. Not having dreams per se, thats been around forever. But discovering the purpose of dreams. What they maen, why we have them...
But I'm pretty sure they don't tell the future.. unless dinosaurs do eventually reinhabit the world. Hmm. I wonder what Digory dreams about?
