When we are sleeping, the brain sorts through life's daily challenges, experiences, images, and thoughts. It may even solve problems and interpret ideas, all while we are completely unconscious. Then it filters, deciding what to keep and what to discard.
Dreams are so interesting because they are a window to this subconscious problem solving and mental sorting. I think about some of the thoughts and memories that have been programmed to stay with me, even through all the filtering, their residues are burned onto my brain and I keep spinning the negatives. What am I supposed to be developing?
In that certain slant of light, I think I see something more than shadows. It's amazing what we think we can see while in the dark.
