How do we get embedded within our dreams? What happens to our perceptions? It seems that dreams cannot be internalized until we emerge from our embeddedness in it. We are naturally trained to assign meaning to that which we experience. Only by stepping outside of ourselves do we start to see the larger patterns that govern our lives. Our brains look for patterns, and in the case of dreams, we self-generate them so that we may be able to reflect on ourselves. This video is an adapted excerpt of "The Slow Emptiness of Dreams".
