Two Observations by a Layman About Dreams - Part 2

Dream-like imaginative flights are pervasive in human experience. While awake, we daydream, free associate and plan. As we fall asleep, we associate in strange ways, often representing one action or thing by other, oddly associated, actions or things. When sleeping, we sometimes dream in narrative-like ways, rejecting plainly illogical associations for a more coherent, realistic dream experience. In all states, a kind of dreaming goes on, of varying degrees of coherence, logic, and realism.
