Dreams

[MurphOnMillerAve]

I enjoy dreams. I always dream. Sometimes, they are so enjoyable that if I am temporarily awakened, I can make myself continue the same dream, from where I left-off, more or less, often, just because the dream was so much fun.

Of course, human beings have wondered about the source(s) of dreams since forever.

However, I have a question for those, here, solely for recreation, who seem to enjoy some of our more quirky topics.

That is, often, my dreams have me present in places I have never, ever seen or been when awake. The landscapes and the buildings have not ever been seen by me, not in movies, through personal experiences or travels, TV, my imagination (?) , or anywhere I have been present. Everything in them is unique and unfamiliar.

These dream environments are totally different for me and not reviews of places I have visited, not even pieces of familiar places that have been reconstructed into new vistas, as near as I can tell.

Where do these places come form? They are not as unusual as Forbidden Planet 's Altari IV Krell landscapes, or Venice, but they sure are new to me.

Where do you theorize they come from?

Are you sure you actually woke up and did not dream you woke up and then resumed the dream.........that actually was not interrupted at all?

Your subconscious creates them from images that you have seen whether you remember them or not - you have to watch your subconscious since at times it might seem like it has a mind of its own and it sees all, stores all, and then parades it albeit at times reprocessed. Your subconscious also creates them to let you process information, again whether you know it or not. You mind has to sort things out, deal with stuff, file stuff, and dream a little dream.......pink elephants on parade.

Now just stare at my current avatar for an hour or 2.......................

Thanks, Rufus, but I'm pretty sure I knew all that; yet, what I'm talking about seems like there is something more - something else - going on. The buildings, in particular, are too different from my experiences in life, as are whole communities, in some dreams. It almost seems like actually visiting "somewhere else." The people are totally unknown to me as well. And at times, I'm a different gender, a different age, or a different profession.

Thank you, again, for the input. And I much appreciate the respectful tone of your reply immensely.

Television, film, and the Internet introduce images that can be used by the subconscious to generate your dreams Murph.

The images in dreams do not have to be exactly as you saw them. The subconscious is recognized as the source of creativity, intuition, inspiration, inner knowing, interconnectedness, and spiritual enlightenment. Within this realm reality shifts and expands, creating a matrix that is far more elastic and multi-dimensional than is perceived by the conscious mind. When we dream we are released from the confines of our logical, practical mind.

That sounds relaxing.

I was hoping you would respond, Wayne. Thank you.

Pretty much what I wrote above - the subconscious is on the job...........

I have a dream of a time when a chicken can cross the road without having its motives questioned.

I do. I do. And I'm still (after several decades) trying to imagine what they actually looked like - were shaped like - given those super doorways leading into Morbius's study-control-room-dial-gauge-place.

The thought of what the Krell looked like never entered my mind.
The image of what Altaira 'Alta' Morbius looked like has never left my mind.
