This is very interesting. id dreams are dynamic perceptions, are they
results of stimuli and events that happen around us while were asleep
(perhaps sources of perception that are too subtle to hear through the
chatter of the mind and sensory perception), or perceptions of static
patterns within us, either intellectual or social (perhaps dream is
intellectual and myth social).
The idea that humans (who are confines to the intellectual level as i see
them, i mean, atleast our understandings and perceptions) could percieve
things that are filtered out by the social level is interesting. what was
the source of the perceptions and, if the social level filtered them out of
intellect, of what level can we consider dreams?
Hoping for some discussion on this,
Elliot
