Helen Keller s dreams consisted only from what she could sense through touch. This shows the naturalness of our dreams, but also shows how our dreams are influenced by our senses. Dreams are most usually passive. In dreams things happen to a person. Rarely is a person actively aggressive about anything in a dream.
Dreams only deal with the immediate present.
They may be made of things of the past, and, if from God, may tell of the future, but while we dream we experience them in the present. It is our brain at work. Often, unhindered by the many distractions of waking moments, our intellect is unleashed in dreams. Personally, I remember in high school struggling with a particularly difficult Algebra problem before going to bed. All night in my dreams I struggled at working that problem.
