Miss HC,
> First, I think the plural of "thingys" is probably "thingies"
><<< Can we find a compromise? ...thingy(s)?
> So if you don't believe in the unconscious, what are dreams?
<<< Dreams can be more clearly seen and attested to as "today's unfinished business getting done while we rest and recuperate"... a sort of mental ordering or housekeeping process. Nightmares are a source of mental blackmail. When replayed in the light of day they can and do highjack our feelings!!! Doesn't mean they really mean something. Sorta like replaying a horror movie with us as the stars.
<<< All that said, information does emerge from dreams and dream state. So I take the information that emerges very seriously, but never do I succumb to fear of the abstract! Fearing the information contained in a dream is not a healthy use of the information itself, no matter how beguiling the information might be.
<<< I do accept the sub-conscious; if you get past your grammar school science, that we only have 5 senses, this probably reads better. We have 4 other senses, gut, balance, location and vagus nerve that are very powerful and work very well with sight and sound every moment of every day. Those only function in background-awareness; the sub-conscious if you will.
<<< I wrote a magazine article called, "The Concert of the Mind", where I tell a story in excruciating slow-motion, every moment of what goes on for a baseball pitcher pitching, and the same thing for the batter who's batting. A concert really goes on and the musicians are the nine senses. The pitcher and batter are adversarial, sorta like "Battle of the Bands" (orchestras)! Note: if either have the flu, they have to overcome their vagus nerve that is telling them to rest and relax.
<<< Sight is by far the "King Kong" of the senses. In your darkest moments, your sight is what keeps you alive!!! On a lighter note, your sight guarantees you that your tomorrow won't be exactly like your yesterday!!! ...and I don't mean TV is different on Thursday than it is on Tuesday....lol!
