Hello, there 
This is basically one of those quetions that really just asks for the publics opinion as I am very curious to see what others think about this query. The burning question I ask tonight is: What do you think dreams are? Are they mearly just subconcious workings of our minds whilst we sleep, or do you think they’re something much more than that?
Personally I think they are a natural function of our subconscious mind. I don’t subscribe to theories that they are links to unlimited cosmic knowledge or anything to that effect, but I do believe that they can help us learn a bit more about ourselves. As to why we have them or their purpose, I can’t say. I just accept the fact that they are.
Now, I do also believe there can be some spirituality to them, but I don’t really like to talk about my personal spiritual beliefs on the internets, it never seems to end well 
It’s really curious how similar topics spring up at similar times for unrelated reasons.
Dreams are of course, the place where our SC gets a little room and a stretch, but that doesn’t mean it ends there. Since you can easily reach your full mind’s capabilities in a LD, dreams can be used for anything you may want, that maybe you couldn’t while awake. And yes, our SC also conveys important messages to us while we dream, since we’re both at it in there for that time
Thankyou for you’re opinions, and please don’t be afraid to explain any spiritual beliefs you may hold in this area and share them as that’s one of the main reasons for this topic: To gather others veiws that are out there and to compare them because science itself if only theories consisting of explinations which we can never be sure are 100% genuine. As man, we are the creators of science, and science is just one shared viewpoint to make sense out of things, just as is spirituality and I believe there’s a link between them both that maybe forgotten. I have nothing against science, because I am some-what of a scientist and a philospher myself. I just like to bare an open mind and instead of seeing things through one sense of reality and view the world through the eyes of naive realism. I try to percieve as many viewpoints and reality tunnels as I possible can. So please if anybody has anything intersesting or different to contribute to this topic I’d be more than happy to hear it.
I know what they are, but it’s better for you to learn for yourself than for me to tell you.
Dreams are awesome, can´t we just leave it to that? 
I think its when your councious mind tries to gather up all the information and put it into the right ‘drawers’, and that creates many links between your braincells, and that creates images. But, it might be something else, who knows. Anyways, they’re just awesome, the lucid ones AND the normal ones. 
Dreams are a way for me to relax and to test things that Im unable to test IRL 
I think dreams are your subconciouses way to talk to you.
I like the explanation I heard once that
dreams are a way for us to prepare for situations in the future.
Something like testing it in a dream before the situation arises in real life.
I think dreams are a more complicated form of thoughts.
You can taste and smell things in your thoughts, make people do whatever you want, imagine you’re flying etc.
Dreams are practically the same thing, with the difference that you’re actually a “physical” part of them — at least the lucid ones!
I think dreams is my imagination taking over in my sleep. Something like that, as even when I’m awake I imagine some crazy things that can be quite similiar to dreams.
Same here Dark… I imagine alot of crazy things while awake. And i dont know if any of u have tripped but i really see crazy things then, and my dreams seem to be a very similar experience. I personally believe it is because there is a spirit world around this physical one and when we sleep we are shut out from the physical world. When i trip i feel like im between both worlds and the only thing that keeps me from totally going there is that what i see, smell, hear, etc… in the physical world is overlapping the spirit world keeping me a little grounded. the deeper my trip the further i go from the physical world and closer to the spiritual. On my deepest trip i actually forgot i was tripping and took off running on an adventure so similar to a dream that i am convinced there is a connection.
Dreams are the subconscious regurgitating everything you’re brain has, into one, big, awesome projection the imagination conjures during sleep. It isn’t the same for everyone, but this is how mine seem to work.
