I have always been amazed by my dreams, how alive they felt. I am spellbound by the thought that my dreams consists of plots and sub plots much like in a novel that is very well written. They usually have logic and reasoning parts behind the dialogues of faceless characters.
For a few seconds after I wake up, I can remember some parts of different dreams. If i don't think about any one part over and over again, all of my precious references to my dreams i just had would vanish into thin air. That is truly sad. If i do think about them, I guess they shift tent to my long term memory, like in one case, i was running on top of a slanting roof trying to balance and not fall. Every bit of it felt like real, the balancing part, the rush when i was tilting dangerously to one side.
This confirms that the 'makings' of a dream gets only the temporary memory and not the privilege of short or long term. This happens when you are awake too. Take a case of doing more than one thing at one time, one work you are most interested in and the other maybe just a song or someone talking. When you stop your main work, you can only remember the last few words in that song or the last few words of the person.
While only temporary memory is available, all the other parts of the brain are available at the dream's disposal and it makes efficient use of them all to make up a spectacular movie of its own. This differs starkly from the claim that dreams have only people we know, voices we heard, things we saw. This also means using the information of a dream, one can create a checklist of which functions of the brain are becoming predominant or being used more.
I think the dreams are precursors to the person we will become.
