Someday all your dreams

Dreams

Dreams are fascinating because they have always fascinated. People have tried to understand the meaning behind them for years, but nobody seems to have really gotten a handle on it so far as I can tell. William Burroughs wrote that dreams were the result of the brain trying to take out the trash and warned against trying to even remember their content. That seems at least as valid as the
theories of Freud, or the psudeoscience of a mass market dream dictionary.

Naturally, many dreams are sexual in nature. The brain is pretty fixed on the subject in the waking world, too. Why not? There is the biological impetus, and it is fun, too.

I used to dream a lot about sex. Still do somewhat, but now I dream as much about horse races as anything. No doubt the fact that I read the Racing Form at night is the main reason. Again,
Burroughs may be right; I bet the wrong ones in my dreams, too.
