Sorry brain, I've been ignoring you for so long!

     I've never actually seriously thought about brains. It's kinda funny that we are using our body every second ever since we were born and most of us don't really pay attention to them. 

    I have tons of questions about the brains. What makes the brains special amongst the organs? What makes them capable of control the bodies? Why are them like hard drives? What role do the brains play in dreams? 

    After last week's discussion, I kept thinking about the subconscious. The idea of subconscious confuses me. If there's a subconscious existing inside us, does that mean there's another thing inside us that is logic beside "self"? Also, is the subconscious inside our brains? It reminds me of our discussion about souls weeks ago. Subconscious is very close to the concept of souls. I'm wondering what are the connections between brains and souls...

    I'm looking forward to this week's discussion. I'm eager to find out more about the mysterious brains.
