I don't dream much (a few days a month), but I also sleep less than the average person. (6 hours)
I'm also highly intelligent. (99th percentile.)

Sleeping is like a reboot of your mental hardware, and the illusion-detecting part of your brain is the last to turn on.
>>33246197That's because your brain makes up the details as you go along, so you only remember the things that you considered.
Everything that you didn't think about in your dream never existed.
It's a world of twine. (whatever that means... You've got the world on a string.)
I'm pretty sure that dreaming helps temper the mood and exercise parts of the brain.
Last time I dreamed about Pokémon and can remember...
Before I was philosophically considering the implications of being a Legendary Pokémon, finding Giratina at a public pool devoid of people...
Steve Bannon became president in a coup.
Blastoise, at my cousins' lake cabin, eating fish in the water.
It's interesting that I have dreamed so little about Pokémon.
I've also not yet dreamed in a foreign language that I've been studying for almost a year now, so it may just be that I don't dream about the things that am doing as much as other people do.
