Oh yes, I agree with you I'm biased myself, even stopped watching TED's for 3-4-5 years after that much of vigorously finding life's meaning every day in TED's(TV didn't cut it and I was a sad kid :D, so when I wasn't playing alone on the computer I was watching TED's and getting fascinated by the many many topics :) they used to be quite qualitative. "School kills creativity" "What is consciousness" .. "City planning" "Psychology" and .... , then I did get biased :D because I saw how most were narrow specialists and with a firm "understanding" of their world on which they have overlayed whatever they can to get through life.

Then I got tired of TED's and their quality shifted. Not much to watch 5 times day, so it went to 5 talks a year. Sure it's mainstream, sure they have their own understandings. But most people mean well, at least they think they do :D

And I agree with you on dreams, can't imagine what you use to keep those records, I for one have tried or at least tell myself I should write my dreams, but I sadly don't seem to follow up on that promise.

Have to say there are many kinds of dreams, the ones you are reviewing your day at the rat maze, the ones that bring you to a place where I'm not sure how to say it, "people are" I'm not sure what to say, but I've met with people that I've forgotten in real life, dunno I'm a newbie with dreams :D , almost have no rhyme or reason, can't even understand or remember them properly :D.

Anyways you are right and I'm grateful you pointed that out, more people should hear that their life isn't just Input Output(Binary) but that there is a vast network of interconnected layers, that work off each other in some way. So it's not just what happened today because that has no meaning/connection to what will happen next month and you just dreamt that, but you still don't know it, kind of way.

And I agree with you dreams are a TLDR; subject ;) I would like to learn more about.

One last thing I normally go on long rants and let my post get long, so this time I decided to stick to the subject at hand and still the "others" tend to pop up I'm quite fascinated with brain power and have been for years :)

So thank you for the comment and the "good review" :), maybe we can get a grip on dreams :D.

I'm nowhere near that level, so far I tend to write down some dreams and even then if I don't replay them tey seem do disappear, I was wondering if wen people "die and have their life flash by, " do their dreams flash by too :D ?

Also, I did ask myself what it would be like if I remembered my life and my dreams, so far I'm 70-80% conscious of my life. And about 5% of the dreams. Kind of a letdown, but dreams are insane. Can't even imagine how they form :D

Cheers! and yes 0=1 and 1=0 :D all for one and one for all
