Comment on Nightmares are just your brain doing combat readiness drills

I love that the brain still relies on real-life data on the world it creates, and when it gets you into shit it doesn’t know how to handle, the simulation just kinda freezes.

Oh, you were just thrown a few hundred {yards,meters}, but don’t know how it feels to be squished to death? Ok, happy walking away with a strange feeling.

I’ve heard that the brain isn’t really capable of creating unique faces, so when you see people in a dream - even if they seem random to you, they’re probably just someone you saw in passing (on the streets, online, etc) which is interesting!

Realistically there isn’t a way to reliably test that theory, but it definitely makes sense to me at least.
