(July 9, 2025 at 9:56 am)Alan V Wrote: Rationalizing is rampant in dreaming, when our access to our short-term memories is impaired. We make up impromptu stories all the time to "explain" what is happening to us.

The fact is that we can't learn about dreaming while we are dreaming because the neurochemical we need to learn anything is turned off.

I should have mentioned that I was paraphrasing (and simplifying) from books by Allan Hobson and William Domhoff, two sleep and dreaming scientists.
