Dream Pondering

For an assignment I was asked, "what is the nature of dreams"?  Thinking about my own experiences it's actually pretty scary.  Once as a child I dreamt I was being hunted by a dude who looked like he belonged in Viking.  I mean I don't remember how many times I either was walking a thin bridge above a deep crevice that I fell into or a car where I was the only occupant... and in the back seat... as it was in motion.

Do I believe in coincidence?  I say I don't think that the universe could be so lazy... too many things happen because there are so many people who make things occur in the world, all things that happen is the combined fluid result of the universe in its entirety in simultaneous and continuous motion.

How is memory like a dream?  Well I can tell from more or less experience that nothing I've ever dreamt was new.  Rather that I have never had a dream that had information or visions to which I was not already aware of, I've never experienced anything new in a dream... no god, aliens, or meaning to life whatsoever.  Honestly my day dreams fabricating my mental vision by my waking will has been more interesting since I retain memory of my dreams once a harvest moon.
