Dreams

Okay, I’ve finally got enough time to sit around and post, and this topic piqued my interest.

A few years ago, I had recurring nightmares about my dad dying—two dreams of his death, and one sequel of his funeral. I was really disturbed about those for a long time.

I think I’d agree with the analysis (at least in part) that our dreams consist of things we’ve heard throughout the day… That seems to explain many of my dreams, but I don’t think that the whole of them is recycled material. Do you guys think that deja vu experiences are a result of the fact that we dream parts of our life before we live them? I’ve heard that hypothesis before, and I’m not sure what I think, though it does adequately explain the whole deja vu deal.
