    I've had a dream showing me what's going to happen with me in the future and it did happen. Exactly like in the dream. It was hair raising and profound. I agree with the dude who says there are big dreams. Yes, there are. Once you experience this first hand yourself, you just know there is something more to dreams than just brain maintenance.

    I'm truly mystified by people who believe that dreams are random brain activity or purely rehearsal but perhaps they do not have the so called "big dreams", i always have. I'm convinced they have a purpose and one broadly in line with the Jungian's idea of the Self. As pointed out here, not all dreams are "big dream" and many are mere rehearsal, but anyone who has experienced the rich symbolic language and creativity of dreams would be hard pressed to subscribe to the idea that there purpose can be explained solely on the level of brain activity.

    Lucid dreaming obviously includes the brain's executive functions. Speak of this please.

    No video I have ever watched that was made to be dream like has that feeling of a dream. Not sure they are three dimensional .

    Often, when I dream, part of my mind is actually analyzing the dream in a kind of hypervisory capacity so that when I wake I’m often aware of the deeper meaning of the dream. I’m wondering if anyone else dreams in this way as it often helps me to solve complex problems during my waking consciousness

    I can't believe they didn't say a word about lucid dream.

    Dreams are a doorway. Much to learn about this topic.

    I wrote down my dreams for 5 years when I was in my 20's. What a hodgepodge of totally weird mental scrambled eggs

    I dream every night and extremely vividly. So I am lucky because some people I know do not remember their dreams. I have many flying and travelling dreams.

    I have been astounded by a couple of my own dreams: people I had completely forgotten and who didn't mean much to me appeared in my dreams and made me realise the kind of person I have become after more than 40 years without once thinking about them. Very powerful. Very strange.

    Something interesting is in dreams I seem to have more knowledge than I do in real life. I often know how to do complex things or understand things that I have little clue about.

    sleep paralysis: I experienced about 1000 times.

    How about in the cases of dreams wherein you are aware that you are aware that you are dreaming?

    “Dreams are real so long as they last. Can we say more of life?”

    We compartmentalize all day to get through this life...and when we sleep, our brains are like “Finally!, A break from compartmentalization.”

    I woke up from within a dream to wake up in a dream to wake up in a dream to finally actually waking up from being asleep. IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME! ILL NEVER FORGET THE FEELING.THE ABSOLUTE BEST.
