What do you make of dreams that don’t make sense one bit…is it your subconscious fighting with your conscience (if you are conscious when sleeping that is); regressions of some sort…?

All I know is the majority of my dreams are just plain crazy.

    There have been dreams that have been made of perfectly sensible things, but have been so ludicrous in combination that I have woken up laughing.

    … but usually I enjoy looking at signs with writing on them because they never stay the same when I look away and look back.

    dreams that don’t make sense one bit.

    Nearly all dreams are this kind, at least after you wake up and switch on your rational mind.

    I had a dream about a rescue shelter for hot dogs. Like you could adopt one. They even had little pages on their web site and everything.

    If a dream were crazy, I’d actually be motivated to think about what it means.

    I thought I’d do some Jungian dream analysis on myself, so I started trying to remember my dreams.

    Turns out, they’re all the same: I’m at some job in some place with some low grade anxiety because I’m incompetent.

    So much for my hero’s journey.

    I watched a video on Paul McCartney as a bassist and video on Yeti. That night I dreamed of Paul in pigtails singing to a yeti.

    The most interesting theory of dreams I’ve read is that they provide your brain with “out of training” data so it doesn’t over-fit to your lived experiences. So you’re always open to the possibility that completely unexpected things could happen.
