    dijuno? There have been, in the past, many Indian religions, or cults, that have been devoted completely to studying dreams. I'm sure you're aware that dreams are an alternate reality; some of these cults aimed at gaining complete control of dreams, and many have had awesome success at doing so, while others simply aimed at studying them in all there aspects and learning to make them a necessary and important part of daily reality. Considering eight hours is a third of the day, do you think it may be an intelligent idea to place importance on the activities of the mind/consciousness and brain during this time of rest? And if all sleep is for is relaxation and body repair then why do we dream and try to assemble a reality? Is our brain really too primitive to figure out that nothing important is really going on? Shouldn't we be devoting that mental energy to subconsciously observing our surroundings instead of creating a 'useless and unimportant' reality? What are dreams really about?

    Comments? Questions? Ideas and opinions. come on in, stop by today!
