I agree with Mystic about the screen, although I would no describe it that way as it makes me think of a team of little Harrys in my head watching the world on an internal monitor.
I describe it as an internal model of the external world, with our brain creating things like colors and sounds to represent the external vibrations in light and air. That is why you can still 'see' the world when you close your eyes, because you have this internal model in your head.
I understand what you mean. Dont really agree but do understand your explanation.
Apparently dogs dream in smells rather than images.
Apparently dogs dream in smells rather than images.
Both of our dogs regularly bark in their sleep, and move their legs as if running. The barks are muted, the leg movements twitchy, but they are unmistakable. They are clearly dreaming of their favorite activity, which is barking at people on the other side of our fence while running back and forth next to it.
I would expect smells to have a much more prominent role in dog dreaming since they experience life much more via smell than do we, and I do see their nostrils flaring and hear little snuffling sounds as they dream, it is just less obvious. But this is all as I'd expect ... they smell, they walk and run, they vocalize, they play in particular ways ... why would they dream strictly and only in smells?

Much like we dream in images. Smells and sounds agument our visuals. Apparently dogs dream in smells but i assume tjat sounds and sights agument their dreams.
I am slmply going by one of Stanley Coren's book, probably How Dogs Think.

Yep. The dog we just said goodbye to was running in his sleep quite a bit in the past year, even as his old legs got more and more wobbly in his waking life.
-We are nothing more than randomly evolved clumps of carbon based biological goo with no divine purpose or design
-Microscopic scale nature is always trying to kill us
-Humans can be improved with the Science
-Human life would not be possible without injections and procedures from the Science
-Together with technology we can realize a paradise, but there is no room for heretical un-trusters in the Science
-Tech billionaires will lead us to utopia
-Wash your hands with holy hand sanitizer
-Get your regular Science injections
-Signal your belief in the Science with cloth over your face
-Pay your tithings to the Science via taxes
-Spend your life savings on blessings from the Science in the last few years of life

It is always so sad to watch those bundles of joy lose their infnite energy and slowly slow down.
Our last dog could barely make it 3/4 round the block in he last weeks. The last legbof the walk was atvtop speed becaus she knew the treat was soon.
Study the method and you'll sense that science is not religion.
Apply the method and you will know it is not.
The Catholics have something to say about that...contradictory to your claims (though in line with a bit of your link)...Religion may not *be* formal science, but it sure helped to bring it to fruition: https://www.ncregister.com/blog/scientific-method
