what are dreams made of?
…and where are they? what makes them located e.g. such that your dream is yours and mine is mine? can brains produce entire dream worlds [which can have a great expanse], and indeed the everyday world?
i think that with training dreams can be controlled somewhat. in ny experience with a little help from substances, i have seen in my minds eye, dreams rolling off the cutting room floor - so to say, driven by information.
now i could say that i have had shared dreams, but thats impossible to prove. its similar to how hypnotism can produce some unexplainable things, which make some people wonder if reality is a projection of background information [bit like the matrix].
we cant prove any such things, but we can ask some simple and fundamental questions as like i opened with.
we can ask if the brain can and does produce light? and enough of it to produce a world.
if it does, then we would be able to look inside the brain and watch peoples dreams, right? i think also that masses of photonic radiation in the brain would probably interfere with other electromagnetic activity.
there would also be instrumentation inside the brain which produces light, like an inner torch lols. yet if nature could do that it would have long ago produced external light emitters similar to torches, e.g. so predators and prey could spot each other in the dark.
ok so some creatures do produce bio-luminescence, but we would be able to see that if it were occurring in the brain.
given that the brain is not producing light, then we must ask if dreams and dream worlds, are in fact another kind of non-physical’ light!
we can equally state that this light is in all human minds [and some creatures].
that the same thing in each mind is producing dreams, and that is most likely to be information. certainly that info is the ‘engine’ driving dreams.
so what kind of info? well some animals dream but they cant speak, so i think we can assume that the info is non-linguistic. in fact now we have to ask if info is the primary drive of dreams, because animals dont think with info, and much of our thinking is not info.
so dreams are an entity which relates to whats going on in individuals brains. it can relate at any level we think, a dogs dreams probably involve a lot of smells, but mostly dreams appear to relate to shapes.
hand-in-glove. one must conclude that as with many other aspects of the mind, nature takes a rubber stamp approach to dreams, matching dream-light/smell/concepts* with the respective occurence in the mind, in a like for like mirroring of those things.
that dreams are a secondary reality shared by anything capable of thinking [at least]. we can visualise this as like a most pervasive dream ocean which permeates the world at [at least] the macroscopic level.
is there any reason why this shared resource cannot be shared by two or more individuals?!
