Quick Thought on Dreams - 6/12/2008

I honestly hate blogging about dreams but I feel compelled to do so until I UNDERSTAND THEM!!!  What are dreams, truly?  If it's just your mind using the toilet, as my father suggests...than why does everything appear so real and interesting, no matter how asinine it seems in retrospect?  Furthermore, why do dreams feel somehow significant, if it's all just random, arbitrary electric impulses firing in the brain?

If dreams really have no innate meaning, other than the one you give them, why does it feel like something or someone is trying to TELL ME SOMETHING through my dreams?  It baffles me, it always has, and until some respected scientist or philosopher can explain dreams to me in a way that completely satisfies my craving for SPIRITUAL TRUTH, I'll continue my ardent quest for astral illumination.
