We forget most of our dreams because we don't have access to those parts of our brain once we are switched to wakefulness. But why we evolved that way is a puzzle to me.
Amy HardieWe dream primarily the same way that we have consciousness of the world for the same reason. Basically, that our brains evolve to simulate reality and to control what's happening around us.
Amy HardieI think the neural pathways in our brains affect what happens in our bodies, and so can alter our health.
Amy HardieI like the way dreams present themselves as words and images that are trying to get your attention using your model-making brain's ability to make up stories.
Amy HardieI try to see what the dream might be referring to - because the information in the world is being interpreted by my brain which only has the concepts derived from our five senses. So I think of the sequences in my dream as my brain doing its very best to process information in a way it knows I can deal with.
