Why common sense doesn't work in dreams?

Question

I was talking to a dead person known by me yet I never question why he was still alive?

I was floating/flying yet I knew man coudn't do that?

I was running hard yet my feet was too heavy to lift up?

Has this got anything to do with the frontal cortex switching to passive mode while sleeping?

Je veux changer le monde
Yes I do know. But first I must be aware I was in dream mode before I can consciously alter my dream otherwise it's like living ignorantly in the physical world.

Answer 1

Possibly. You do know that you can consciously alter your dreams, do you not? Personally I enjoy every wild moment.

Answer 2

That's what is so great about dreams, your free to do what ever you cant, or what ever isn't common sense in the real world.

I wouldn't want to influence what happens in my dreams, i just lay back and let what ever happen in them happen. They are the way your brain process what you have been experiencing during the say; you could say its tidying up the information.

You never know, trying to alter what happens in your dreams could leave you brain and your emotions confused and restless.

Answer 3

common sense does work in dreams, but it works different than when you are awake.

dreams draw on symbolism, and the symbolism is determined by culture. For example, Americans may dream of an eagle to symbolize freedom, pride, courage, intelligence. This is because to them, the eagle symbolizes the freedom in America. However someone in Mexico may dream of an eagle to express fear, because the eagle is a predator.
