I've been thinking about dreams lately because of our conversation on the unconscious.  I think it is interesting that some of us remember our dreams, while others don't and some people have "nonsensical" dreams, while still others have perfectly "normal" dreams.  Why is it that some people can "conscious dream" in which they control what happens throughout the dream as if they were awake or simply daydreaming? Does this mean that these people are less in tune with their unconscious or that their unconscious just comes out in different ways than their dreams? If we all have a conscious and an unconscious how come some of us are more in tune with one or the other? I wonder whether dreams are a good guide by which to know how in touch one is with their unconscious.  If our unconscious comes out in our dreams then are we also more closely listening to it in our waking hours or are we less and those who don't seem to be connecting with their unconscious in their dreams connecting with it more during their waking hours?  I obviously don't have any of the answers to these questions but I just thought I would bring them up as some food for thought as I myself have been thinking about them quite a bit.
