Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Dreams

Freud suggested a dream represented an ongoing wish along with the previous days activities. Jung believed that dreams were to compensate for those parts of the psyche (total personality) that are underdeveloped in waking life. Others say that dreams deal with problems we can't solve in waking life and offer solutions. More recently, it has become fashionable to say that dreams are a way for the brain to sort through the information of the day, sometimes literally, others metaphorically, and 'save' it appropriately (presumably making connections to other thoughts so they can pop into your head randomly during waking hours).

Even though there is no definative answer, it would probably be safe to assume some combination of the above.

Now, considering for the last couple of days I have begun to wonder if everything is not alright in Grey matters-ville. You see, my brain absent mindedly (pun intended) has of late been through my old long forgotten memories, selected some choice specimens, dusted them off and promptly bastardised them for my viewing pleasure. Consequentially, whilst previously I was perfectly happy with whatever was, or was not, nagging me in my subconcious, I am now becoming ever so slightly neurotic wondering about said dreams in the waking day, so much so that my waking concious wasn't previously registering this concern it is now... whether it has any cause to or not.

I'd have words with my sub-concious, but I have a sneaky suspicion it'll ignore me anyhoo.
