Does 1+1=2 in our dreams?

Question

I mean, does logic really extend that far?

Answer 1

I believe the real question is "Are there such things as digital-type numbers in the dreams of most humans?" After that is answered then we can start to work on the details. Such as, "Is this question aimed at digital numbers, or is it intended to represent the binary numbering system?" Because, for example, under those circumstances, 1+1 would necessarily equal 10.

If your question is about logic, of course it extends into the dreascape, but only as far as the mind of the dreamer is able to comprehend logic, and in the way that logic is comprehended by that individual. Perhaps it would be useful to have a definition of logic here?

My personal definition of logic is that it is an arbitrary system set up by humans to assist in linear thinking. Not all people need logic to operate on a daily basis, so no, I don't believe in our dreams that 1+1 necessarily equals 2.

You asked, "Does 1 + 1 = 2 in our dreams"?


Well, "our" dreams are different so there is no one particular correct answer to that question.


My first instinct to answer that question would be to simply say, "It all depends on who is dreaming".


And it would depend on whether the dream you are speaking about is a night dream, night mare or day dream or a dream that you 'd wish mathematics would be different or the same as it is or was.


It all depends on that.


In "my" dreams, I've never dreamed about mathematical equations or problems.




In "your" dreams -only you would know the answer to that.


If you find that you can't remember your dreams, keep a note pad right by your bed and write the dream as soon as you wake up. This way you don't have time to forget your dream .



In "other people's " dreams, only they would know and I guess you'll have their answers by reading the answers below and above my answer here.



Perhaps if you spend a few hours doing math before you go to sleep or spend most of your hours awake thinking of math, then I guess you might dream math.


So that's what I think about your dream question.

Answer 4

Only if your brain demands it.
My dreams are far from logical. Often times you can skip over things like 1+1=2 and still have stuff make sense. Also, if you can become semi-conscious while dreaming, you can take control of it and do cool things like shoot lightning from your fingertips or fly.

Answer 5

is it not amazing that one can dream so realistic at times, and other times, so erratic ....1+1 = 2 in realistic dreams yes, but think about this....if a person has not the knowledge that 1+1 =2, would such a person dream 1+1 = 2 ?....

Answer 6

Can you write up a proof that 1+1=2 in reality?

Answer 7

1+1=11 my dearest not 2.
Sometimes 1+1=3 (in reality not in dreams), my dear

Answer 8

For all we know, 1+1= fish in dreams. But then again, who the hell dreams about MATH?????

Answer 9

anything can happen in dreams 1+1 can = house if you want it to

Answer 10

in some ways yes, and in other ways no. some dreams are very logical and in our relaxed state we may sometimes confuse them for reality while others are so illogical that it is as if they come strait out of the mind of Dr. Susse.
God Bless!!
