 Dreams are a psyop. I'm not conviced people actually dream, could be all just a cargo cult.

You go to bed, close your eyes, fall asleep, fastfoward 8 hours into the future and wake up. 
 I can't find it now, but there was writing about how the nature of dreams changed after the invention of movies. Basically seeing television alters dream content and you cannot go back. 
 There are bitds in my head and birds don't exist. 
 Dreams are the language of the subconscious. It can be learned like a foreign language.  
 Not buying that 
 you are very right-brained
