Dreams Our Connection with Simulated Reality

Dreams,Our Connection with Simulated Reality

Dreams make perfect sense when you are asleep. Once awake, however, they leave you wondering where your mind took you, why you dreamed of what you did and the possible connections between your subconscious and conscious mind. Are the dreams of simulated reality doors to your inner conscious or are they unconnected events that let the mind and body relax?

Simulated reality is an idea, a hypothesis. Reality, the state of things as they really exist, can become an idea that is virtually or computer simulated in a dream. Of course, the reference to a computer here is one the greatest, most misunderstood computers ever – our mind.

Once asleep our minds are open to stimulation free of conscious thought. Our minds are free to use sensory perceptions in the dream state. It is open to desires, thoughts, actions, muscle function, and it replies, or makes-up, scenarios for our inner avatars. This act of artificial consciousness, the dream, is fully simulated and appears reality based while we are asleep. Once awake our conscious reasoning takes over and rebukes the dream, thus leaving the virtual world to manifest itself only in the subconscious realm.

But do our dreams set patterns for conscious behavior? Do our dreams set subconscious goals? Does external reality really confer with our virtual, simulated reality through our dreams?

Our dreams may be setting baseline goals for our conscious minds and may leave us questioning our own reality. They might even suggest the wild idea that we really don’t know the difference between our virtual world and one that is reality based. The Matrix© film series took this idea and treated the ability of the mind to be tricked into believing a mentally generated world is the “real world.”

The thought processes include emigration simulation, where the dreamer enters simulation from an outer reality and enters into a brain/computer interface simulation. Once “in” the dreamers deploy a variety of methods to participate in the simulation in an effort to consciously break the two worlds apart and help their minds realize the differences between the two worlds.

Dreamers face the same dilemma as they awake from a dream; it’s the separation process from simulated reality to conscious mind. We remember the dream as we come into the twilight of consciousness, but soon the dream fades from memory, unless it was a lucid dream. Dreamers often leave a notepad by their bed to jot down the events so they might interrupt them later.

The dream world may leave you wondering where the events or basis of the dream came from. Surprisingly, people with amnesia are being researched for the answer. Some dream material comes from actual experiences. Such events or declarative memories, information you declare to be factual, whether you remember the lesson or event learned, may be the basis of some dreams. Episodic memory may also play a part in dreams.

Episodic dreams come from events that leave lasting impressions on the conscious or subconscious mind. People who permanently suffer from amnesia can’t add new declarative or episodic memories. The parts of their brains involved in storing this type of information, primarily in a region of the brain called the hippocampus, have been damaged. Although amnesiacs can retain new information temporarily, they generally forget it a few minutes later. If dreams come from declarative memories, people with amnesia shouldn’t dream at all, or at least dream differently than others do, with one exception, they fail to recognize what they are dreaming about.

Dream interpretation is almost a field of study itself. Dreaming of animals is said to symbolize the inner wildness of the dreamer. Clouds represent both good and bad things depending on whether the clouds are white and fluffy or dark and gloomy. Dreams of food indicate the dreamer is well taken care of, while dreams of garbage may symbolize the dreamer needs to rid themselves of something such as a bad habit or condition.

During REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, our bodies go into sleep paralysis. The mind sees the dreams as near reality and goes into this temporary paralysis phase. And though you may not remember them, everyone dreams several times a night.
