The meaning of dreams

Whilst I am in this thinking mood (when am I not) here are my thoughts on dreams. I believe that when we sleep the body does rest. So too the brain, but some of the time that we sleep the brain gets its act together. It rearranges its folders and files and provides links and notes for reference. Yes, I hear folk saying, it sounds like a computer. It is not only like a computer in the sorting of files it is also similar to the defragging processes. Shifting commonly used items to the top for ease of access and burying others in storage, never deleting. It freshens ones cells.
Now sometimes the conscious mind tries to get a look into this activity to see what is going on. It tries to make some sense of it all. Of cource this is not possible but this bleeds into our consciousness as a mixed up jumbled mystifying sometimes terrifying dream, briefly to be remembered as we wake. Trains in bedrooms, murdered children, snakes in the bath, Jennifer Hawkins in my bed, some are pleasant. Some misguided people try to interpret these dreams like fortune tellers and astrology merchants. But they are just random glimpses into a defrag session.
