Blog Assignment 2 - Dream A Little Dream

What is the nature of dreams?

Dreams are a way for our brains to make sense of the things we experience, see, or hear throughout the day. They blend our conscious and unconscious minds. People have tried to bring meaning to dreams since the beginning of time. They have been believed to be divine images from the gods, curses from Satan, and have been used in psychology to gain more understanding about a person.   


Do you believe in coincidence?

I believe that fate, coincidence, and free will all have a role to play in our lives. Coincidences happen all of the time. For instance, the boy that grew up across the street from me coincidentally shared the same exact birthday as me, only I was an hour older than he was. 


How is memory like a dream?

Our brains never remember things as they actually happened. Memories change and fade, details are forgotten or mis-remembered. In the end, memories become small snapshots in time, they take on a dreamlike state. One can think back and picture the images as they remember them creating an impression of a dream.
