Answer 1

I''m in Psychology at my school, and I learned that dreams ccomes from REM (or Rapid Eye Movement) sllep. Dreams or events that happened, past and present that you've forgottenoor remembered, and thoughts that you had throughot the day.

Answer 2

I don't have a scientific answer for you. But through my understanding and intuition I believe the simple answer is Lightning. aka "energy", a, if not "THE" god of the universe.

Your brain is a giantic electrical storm, constantly small lightning bolts of energy are striking randomly, impulsively in different sections of your brain matter. Now keep in mind that there are sections of "brain matter" or if you want to have fun with it, brain meat, that deal with different aspects of life.

I know this is broad, but basically you have an auditory section of the brain, a visual section of the brain, a motion section of the brain.. and the lightning bolts or electricity fires between the neurons in your brain. The neurons basically just being a bunch of bundled cells.. smart cells, because our brains have evolved for many many years. Theres cells that actually monitor how frequently other cells fire to determine just how much energy is needed to set off a bunch of other cells. So if enough "lightning" strikes in one section of cells, then it will set off a response. Okay okay so this is generally how the brain works.. what about dreams? Well this all takes place in the visual brain meats. THe front of your head. What's amazing is that everything you see in front of you right now, actually is a projection in your brain. Our brains interpret light waves.. and then draw a beautiful picture in our "minds".. okay what's a mind though? what is doing the drawing? well it's the frontal brain meat. So you close your eyes, and now the brain starts randomly firing.. but let's not call it quite random, because it has been conditioned to fire in a certain way. Conditioned like how you know not to touch a hot stove after the first time you touch it. This gets into memory.. but thats another subject.. the fact is.. cells can remember. For instance, how your immune system remembers how to fight off diseases a second time once it kills them the first time. That kind of memory. So, every "thought" in the universe is somewhat connected to another "thought". Let's define a "thought" as being the composite of "known factors". Like 1+1. The only reason that 1+1 = 2 is because we define each factor and we accept the answer as a new definition. We feel pretty damn comfortable with mathematics being certain. I mean heck, we launch men to the moon using particular trajectories which if were off by a single degree would send them to mars instead of the moon. So as humans, we are confident in our defintions. Every thought is connected to another thought in a very blurry way. When you say "we almost won the championship", this phrase actually defines the process of your brain. Your brain either gets it right the first time, because it "knew it" through trial and error or instinct, or it has to "guess" through trial and error. Dreaming is this process of trial and error as well. Dreaming is a process which is dedicated to straightening all of the confusing thoughts you've had during the day. It's a matter of organizing. Life is actually one big dream. We are constantly refinining and organizing our beliefs and trying to achieve that one "Definite" outcome. We don't quite know what it is.. but every day we get a little bit closer to it. To ask what a dream is, is simply to ask what a thought is, and how thoughts come about and how they interact with each other. For the most part, we are dreaming during the daytime but in a more awake state. "Awake" is strong investment in a "thought". If you sit here and deny that you are reading these words right now then you might start to question whether you are awake. Keep denying and you will become the philospher Renee Descartes who denied reality until he realized that the only thing that let him know he was existing was the fact that he was thinking. The saying is "I think therefore I am." What is a thought?

You are a thought. Pure thought. Though you deny it. You are a dreaming machine. As am I. Not to scare you.. but we are one, as the eastern religions would say. You ask for a definite on "dreams" but the definition of dreams is exploring and chasing the unknown. Dreaming is asking.. "What could be?" This is far from definite. Think about it ;-)

Answer 3

I've often wondered these things myself. For instance, how do you dream about people who you've never seen before or a place that you've never seen before, etc. It was suggested to me to record your dreams immediately after you wake up (so you don't forget as the day goes on).

I've been looking for a no credit course in "Dream Analysis". There are no courses like that that I can find in my area, but perhaps there is an on-line connection that you could check into.

Answer 4

One theory (and I agree with it) is that dreams are the process your mind uses shuttling information from your short term memory to your long term memory. During this process your brain is linking this information to related information that already exists in the brain.

You don't "See" with your eyes. You perceive with your brain.
Information comes in, and your brain processes this information, and you perceive it.
The same process is happening when you dream- but the information is not coming from your eyes, its coming from the brain it's self.

look up work on that subject by Francis Crick (yes, the DNA guy). He spent the last part of his life studying that subject, among others.
