Dreaming

[Froge]

I don't actually think that dreams are events that can be remembered. They're more like patterns of thought swimming around in our head, and when we claim to remember dreams it's more like we've allocated memory for a pointer that directs us to that certain pattern of thought. #c++

On my train home from work today, I dozed off a couple of times but only very briefly. Each time I woke up, I felt like I was transitioning from a state of continuous thought to a state of mindfulness. I believe the biggest difference between conscious thinking and dream thinking is only that we're aware of our thoughts when we're awake. In dreams, we take thoughts at face value, which is why sometimes nightmares and / or happy illusions occur.
