The concept of a dream |
|
| When someone says to you the word dream, the first thing you probably think of is your most recent memorable dream or thought. Dream is what we do when we sleep. Daydreaming is what we do when we are awake, but not focused on the reality before us. | ||
| Dreams are intriguing and common to every human being and advanced lifeforms. Dogs dream, cats dream, even fish dream. What they dream of, we can't really say for sure. But as a human, what you dream about you can describe, if you choose to say and remember. | ||
| The images of dreams are a major part of the fascination of dreams and day dreaming. There are great many interesting web sites that provide marvelous possible reasons for thousands of possible dream images. At the end of the day, the reason for the images in your dreams are ultimately unique to you. | ||
| What is important to consider about dreams, day dreams and even thinking itself is that all three adhere to certain basic rules of structure. | ||
| 2.7.1 | The concept of dream structure | |
| The idea that a dream, or thought has structure is itself a radical idea that takes some getting used to. | ||
| This is because for most of our lives we have probably never given thought a thought. We take our minds for granted. They exist, so that it. The idea that when we think a thought, that thought represents a dimensional boundary (dream boundary) within which a reality exists for the length of that thought exists is an alien concept to our general sensibilities. | ||
| 2.7.2 | The idea that thoughts and dreams are just "programs" | |
| For most of the 20th century, modern societies have been told to consider thoughts and dreams as just effects of the machine of consciousness. Because branches of human analysis (psychology, psychiatry) are now able to explain so much of the human personality and physical process, most of us do not give the very notion of structured consciousness a second thought. | ||
| By explaining human thoughts and dreams as processes, science is able to place these things in boxes without need to consider any structural or dimensional aspect to the phenomena of thinking, the “being of consciousness”. | ||
| Yet for thought to exist, it requires structure. The same structure that applies to any dimensional universe. | ||
| 2.7.3 | The dimensional structure of thought and dreams | |
| Thoughts and dreams are made of the same thing. The same theoretical rules that apply to the creation of any dimension. The only difference to human dream dimension and universal dimension is that human dream dimension only exists for a few moments before collapsing from poor structure. | ||
