Dreams

Dreams are one thing that I think we take too much for granted. I mean, what actually is it? We lie comotose for a few hours, hallucinate vividly and then usually suffer amnesia about the whole thing. What, except for the fact that it happens to everyone, is normal about this? I ask this question because of a few dreams that I've been having lately - things like being in the very centre of an explosion (the only part of this dream I remember) or windsurfing in a river style of dam thing before going to get psychoanalysed. These are the less messed up dreams. So my question is, Why do we put so much stock in our dreams? It isn't often that I think about explosions or dying in them, or even windsurfing, so why did I dream about them? Is it a Freudian slip of my subconscious or is it just random? These are things that I don't know or pretend to understand. The inner workings of my subconscious brain are something that I'm still trying to figure out.

However, I'm not just going to leave it there. I had a dream last night that I would like to discuss. In it, someone said to me that he knew why I did things. This almost definatly has to be an outworking of my subconscious somehow - so I took note. I was told that I only did things so that I would be recognised as a good person (ironically this was immediatly before I beat someones face in), something that I have in the past noticed. So then the question arises, why did my subconscious feel the need to tell me this and why now? I don't know I and I don't particularly wish to speculate.

In other news, I've changed the layout of the blog and was wondering if there is anything else that I should do to it, or if there's anything that you would like me to discuss here. If there is, feel free to leave a comment below.
