I considered putting this in Media and News, but Debate is empty right now.
:( There's a new theory about dreams and their function. It basically says that dreams are a sort of "simulation" or "training ground", where our brain puts us through potentially dangerous situations and - in effect - practises possibly solutions and outcomes. This would explain why two thirds of dreams are supposed to be nightmares, as these "scary" dreams are simply "scary" or dangerous situations. If you read the article, the first of five pages starts with an experiment carried out, where rats deprived of dreaming (through lack of REM sleep) did horribly in what rats seem to know or do instinctively. I'm rather convinced by this theory, as it provides an evolutionary explanation as to why animals dream. It of course doesn't account for every dream, but there's an explanation in there with a comparison to certain bodily fluids. Discuss. |

I...am so concerned about what my mind thinks is dangerous now. Why was the raw pizza dough so delicious? D: |

I guess now it dreams wouldn't lend themselves to danger alone, but to things that ensure survival. Such as eating food like raw pizza dough! |

I've been having an odd dream ._. Scary as hell I thought. it starts off okay then it turns into a horror film where everyone dies ._. and I'm helping the killer somehow T_T I know it doesn't sound that bad but when the people who're dying are you guys its kinda unsettling. Mind you its kinda odd how I'm getting dreams now...I usually don't dream at all. |

One of my dreams was very strange. I was dressed like alice from alice in wonderland, with blonde hair and all, and i was walking through a foggy forest...then this thing attacked me... i kicked its ass and all... but then i woke up cuz someone jumped on me. >> Strange training ground, that is. Are my dreams telling me to become a girly blonde who kicks monster but? |

I like, totally read the first "kicking" as, like "licking." And I was all like, "WTF." And then I was like, "LOLWUT." And then I was all like, "OH, SHE SAID KICKING!" And then I was all like, I'm gonna like, post this. And then I was like, and like, I'm gonna like, type it like, valley girl like.

For the past two weeks, I've been dreaming non-stop. Then I overheat and wake up. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. That's actually unusual. I dream fairly often, but not THAT often. |

You see, I knew someone would say that. As in, my body's internal temperature increases to an uncomfortable level due to the inability to shed said heat due to an excess of blankets. |
