Hey Martha- I think that it depends on what you are deanmirg about Sometimes I dream about things that I thought about or read before I went to sleep Then other dreams seem so real that I am confused when I wake up as to whether they actually occurred in my awake state You know as kids we had the wildest imaginations then somehow when we grew up we lost a lot of that I believe that deanmirg is sort of an expression of our long forgotten imaginations fantasies (I m not talking necessarily sexual!) which we want to carry out in real life or fantasies we absolutely don t want to occur Does that make any sense? Moral of my comment? The brain is definitely an amazing thing Kristi
