re dreams really a direct result of your environment? i was going to type more here yesterday, but i never got around to it. then i thought i would just leave it. but that was yesterday too. now i think i'll pick it up again. this clump of grey matter is sleepy. dreams are keeping it awake again.I had a really intersting ping pong conversation about dreams with my dear watson in the car on the way to work last week. i wondered what came first. he is convinced that dreams are a direct result of your outside environment. what about the inside, is there a difference? what about prophecy and such. thats more like baseball than ping pong. are dream ideas original visions sent from distant points? does the brain take that information and use our own life experience to decipher these muddled messages? i wonder what the same message, same dream, would look like based on my life if i grew up in nigeria. probably just more goats. baaa...

If by "your Environment" you're referring to that clump of grey, mazing glop that we are confined to inside our stupid heads, then yes.
Seems kinda' naive to use our time-based, word-logic to understand or define the dream-state. Our semantic/semiotic culture most likely lacks the models we would need to understand dreaming. Is it a tool, an alternate reality, an intereality or Metallectual thing? Is it the communicative form of energy trying to translate itself and it's needs into our heads by collaging all our most recent experiences into a semi-cohesive form. Is it our soul mixing recipes of life together to find a better flavor? Is it our supreme being's predator camouflaging itself as our memories, trying to get a peek at it's prey as it catogorizes our existance for later use? Perhaps the intoxicating effects of the substance used by our nocturnal tenders that makes us unconscious for half our lives even though we could easily remain awake forever if it wasn't for the "sleep" they induced us into for the purposes of contracting our spines and caking golden crust into our eyes for reasons we will never, ever understand?
i miss u =(
