I've been thinking a lot lately about dreams...they really are spectacular! When I talk to someone and they say they never remember their dreams, I genuinly feel bad for them. It's one of those little things that make a really big difference in life! Every night I go to bed and get to watch a brand new movie that actually feels real in that moment...how amazing is that? And it didn't come from a screen-writer, or a director, but from my own mind. The fact that a person can create something so extraordinary, without even trying, is taken for granted far too often.
Something I learned just recently is that the human mind can't create new faces when sleeping. This means that any face we see, even for a split second, can be saved to use later in a dream. You could walk through an airport, see a face and forget it instantly. But even though you have forgotten it, your brain can hold onto the image and use it later to liven up your sleepy state. It almost seems that way with places too. When I think about dreams, they seem to be a combination of several different places. Last night my dream place was part South Beach, part Chignik Lake, and part of my home, but somehow I interpreted it as a school trip, specifically prom, at Newhalen school. Weird isn't it?
I can't really say what it's like for other people, but I can remember my dreams with such clarity that I'm still thinking about it days later, and it's something that no one else in the world can ever experience. It's something completely mine, and no matter how hard I try to explain it to anyone else, they will not understand it.
This us just another example of how complicated and unfathomable the human brain is. It really is the most complex kind of technology we never knew how to use. Which is weird, because we would need to use our brains to figure out how to use it!
That's all for now. I hope you guys find this as interesting as I do, or at least begin thinking about the awesome-ness of it all. Thanks for reading!!
Have fun and be happy!! <3
