We only dream what we have sensed and are able to sense. A person who has been blind all his life, never has dreams in which he sees something. It is impossible. 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.
