The state of dreaming

              In the least, dreams are bizarre. Theorists have been attempting to identify the nature of these altered states of consciousness for years although no one has had any valid idea of why or how dreams occur. Some people believe that dreams are an individuals way of working through problems in their personal life. Others believe that they are just as real as being "awake" is. I personally believe dreams are just small collages or representations of everything we've observed synthesized into multiple realms we create within a dream state. After we create these boiled down scenarios of past memories we use our own problem solving abilities, or those of others we've previously witnessed to work through scenarios that we've created in our unique dream. In a way these scenarios are just as real as our everyday life.
