10 Most Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Prove Alternate Realities Are Real

6. Dreams And Other Unexplained Stuff

Our brains are full of such inexplicable guff. Even with the great leaps forwards in neuroscience, research techniques and the like, human beings are still no closer to really understanding how our minds work. The brain is almost a complete mystery, at least as far as getting our heads around human consciousness is concerned. All we have are psychological and physiological theories on why personalities are a thing, why we laugh, what love is. The craziest part of our everyday lives nobody can explain, though are dreams. What the heck are dreams? Nobody knows. They could be the brain, as it rests, sorting through thoughts, memories and anxieties; they could just be the random firings of synapses; they could be some sort of mix of the two, the sleeping brain trying to put an assortment of images into a working narrative. The fourth option, meanwhile, is that entering REM sleep is the closest we can get to viewing the alternate worlds that are usually beyond our comprehension, like windows into other worlds. Which would make Inception even cooler.
