Are dreams real, /pol/?
Sometimes, I want to believe that the things that happen in my dreams are somehow indicative of things in reality. But I'm probably being completely irrational. Or am I? I don't know what to make of it all...
There are a few other things that make me question the "non-realness" of dreams.
1. The continuity of my dream world. My dreams don't consist of random adventures in random imagined places every time. Frequently I'll visit parts of the dream world where I've already been multiple times.
2. The lack of randomness. Dreams aren't like static on a television screen, it isn't just neurons firing randomly. Every dream is like a story.
3. My ability to recall my dreams increases greatly when in a semi-dream state. I'd challenge you all to try this because when I first figured it out it blew me away. When you wake up at night and you're laying there still sort of half asleep, try thinking about dreams you've had in the past. You'll find you're able to recall them much more easily and vividly than you normally could, even dreams you may have forgotten about completely.
I'm asking /pol/ because /pol/ is the closest we have to a philosophy/psychology board. I'm not asking /x/ because they're retarded.
