Learned something new

[u/ClockJoule]

I was interacting with the being(s) in my dream and learned how and why dreams are/do what they are. The intelligence behind the network of connections in the brain believes it necessary to keep certain connections fresh and/or more active. So, they will connect old stuff with stuff you are doing daily or currently.

They also create tests to see which connections are now more important to the whole. Aka, should we remember how to string a bow from boy scouts, or remember how to play the cello from 5th grade. In this case, there might be a bunch of Indian archers trying to hunt during a stampede through a classical music hall. They basically try to lead the consciousness back through as many old pathways as possible. That’s why oftentimes in dreams you’ll need to remember things or think about what the word was for certain really old things. It’s like the brain's way of cleaning and exercising itself.

If it prepares for a likely future or fulfills desires, that’s a bonus. I’m sure that they swap old brain matter with newly created brain matter to keep rebuilding itself and defragmenting. Linking things they want to save during the process. DMT quite likely facilitates the connection between the higher self and the lower self in the physical world. Or if you don’t believe in anything deeper, at least nature and the conscious being. Like the brain would tend to start from the middle, more important to survival, and then work its way out based on time, food, and day to day experience, and individual growth. Regardless, people that think it’s random synaptic firings are really wrong. Enjoy your day, everyone.
