<p class="MsoPlainText">< The enormous inventiveness and creativity of these experiences, their complex structures, and blooming buzzing confusions, their wildly improbable transitions, are a challenge to any poor monist. Where the hell does the information
come from? ><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It seems to me to the extent one can remember and describe a dream, one has the tools to generate it. Supposing that dreaming is a distributional learning process that moves experiences into long term memory, and is not surprising that
a lot of high energy events would arise: Weird plots with unusual interactions of objects and agents. What is surprising to me is not that there this is disorder, but that there is order. For example, I recently woke up in a dream, let the dog out, and
then the dream continued like a half hour later. It is like there is a training procedure underway, that was suspended and restarted.<o:p></o:p></p>
