Are Dreams An Exercise In Quantum Physics?
While watching a program which involved an attempt to explain quantum mechanics to average people, it struck me that the explanation of how things work on the quantum level sounded a lot like the kind of things that happen in dreams. There are a number of interesting observations that seem to fit the picture of correlating dreams with visits to the quantum world. In quantum mechanics, time does not function the same way as it does in our waking world. Past, present, and future get all jumbled up and random on the quantum level. Events seem to occur in a chaotic and unpredictable random fashion, slipping in and out of time, and possibly universes. These characteristics seem to describe dreams pretty well. In dreaming, there is often a rapidly changing, chaotic flash of different perceptions that seem to make sense when we are asleep, but often have no apparent bearing or correlation to sensibility for our wakened mind. It is common knowledge the our brain activity remains high during sl
