This might be of interest to some. :grin:

Quote
Abstract: Deep inside the temporal lobe of the brain, the hippocampus has a central role in our ability to remember, imagine and dream.

And here I thought having too much pastrami on a Dagwood sandwich caused weird dreams.

Pastrami causes nightmares involving vampires, everyone knows that. Sheesh!

Very cool story about the magic seahorse! Thank you, xSilverPhinx:thumbsup:

I like the underlying idea that at some level it's constantly churning out a sort of subtext of our lived experience. This ties in with a phenomenon that I occasionally experience in moments of reverie, in which highly detailed and associative sequences of events drift across my mind in brief but rather intense vignettes. Perhaps in those moments I'm tuning in to the hippocampus channel.  :seahorse:

I was a somnambulist up to the age of 25, with some funny consequences on a few occasions.

No, unfortunately, I have no titillating stories — I never went back to any wrong beds. Once, when we were on holiday and staying at a seaside hotel, I woke up downstairs in the dark kitchen and had no idea why I was there. Another time I dreamt I was trapped in a tomb, banging on the door to try and get out. I was inside the house at the front door, but my parents thought someone was trying to break in.

It must be a very odd sensation indeed to wake up with no idea how you got there!
