i've dreamt up a few possible explanations for dreams

currently my favourite is for converting short term to long term memory

my most vivid dreams are when i experience something new, or have an unexpected reminder about something i last thought about years ago

i imagine the surreal nature of the dreamscape is some consequence of developing neuronal paths

storing a new idea about a boat forms a path to a neuronal pathway referencing fire and your dream has you sailing across a sea of fire
