hako's thread made me wonder if there is any milage in a discussion on dreams.
Are they just random 'movies' ? Or do they have significance ?
If they have significance is this the subconscious giving you a glimpse of something ? Or something much more psychic ?
Or perhaps we could discuss sleep generally, rather than concentrating on dreams.
Over to you lot...

What is this thing when you do something, but then you feel like you did that already, under exactly the same circumstances, but you KNOW you could not have done that since it's like the first time you're there? It's so weird.

Ah De-ja Vu (?).
The explanation I've read was that the knowledge that you've seen/heard/whatever the situation before, can follow more than one path through your brain until it reaches where-ever it has to get before YOU become aware of it.
Don't ask me to define what YOU are please.
So far so good ?
OK then the sensation following path 1 can reach this destination slightly quicker than the sensation following path 2.
When the path 1 info reaches the destination it registers with YOU.
When the path 2 info reaches the destination the destination 'says' I've had this info before somewhere/sometime/somehow.
Thus you experience de-ja vu.

Does anyone dream in color? I think that I do. Anyway, I remember colors from a dream after I wake up.
