Where do the images in our dreams come from?

Dreams have fascinated people for centuries because no one truly knows where their images and figures come from. Are they just a jumble of memories, or something much deeper? Neurologists speak of brain activity during REM sleep, when chaotic memories are rearranged into new configurations. But others believe that dreams are more than that – a gateway to other dimensions, traces of past incarnations, or even a form of communication with something beyond the subconscious. Today, in an age of science and spiritual awakening, the boundary between neurons and the soul is once again blurring. The question remains: does the brain merely process familiar images, or does it, like an artist, create entirely new worlds we’ve never seen while awake?
