I was wondering today about the origins of our dreams, and despite the various theories that has crossed my path, I am yet to be entertained by one that I deem conclusive.
In the psychological field it is stated that one is only able to recognise in others what you have acknowledged within your self, does the same principle then apply within the mind, can our subconscious then only fathom depictions retrieved from our own experience and exposure? Does our minds then create these composite illusions with shattered remnants of forgotten memories? And are these depictions created as a form of our own higher self trying to somehow focus our attention on that which we are aware of yet have not associated with?
