My Dreams

Sometime back I've gone through an interesting blog Me and My Memory - 1. The author of that states the brain remembers things based on LRU logic. I felt the brain's logic is more complex than just LRU. It has lot more parameters like number of times accessed, importance, interest, etc, etc... Still it is a very interesting thing to start thinking about our brain behaviors.

While talking about brain, one can't forget dreams. Today morning, in a dream, I saw three girls whom I've met 5 years ago in my college. I've seen their faces with the clarity of maximum possible resolution I can imagine. When they asked me if I can remember their names, I said the name of one of those girls & when I was trying to say the second girls' name......... booom... the dream was over. From that moment, I've tried very hard to recollect their faces (of course, at the cost of my early morning sleep :( ) & I couldn't get even a single piece. Now I couldn't even confirm if the name I said in the dream is the correct one. May be the brain is surfing through all the memory links when we are sleeping & bring out the interesting ones as dreams.

Many of my dreams used to have very normal & realistic incidents with only few strange things. I used to break my head for quite some time to know why that thing happened in my dream in that manner. Most of the time, I could find out a really complex but very logical reason for those incidents. Definitely the brain is doing a lot of rehearsals before playing that dream for me. Hats off to the brain!

But few of my recent dreams are quite illogical & I couldn't find out any reason for that. I don't know whether my dream creator is going blunt or my active brain. Anyhow, I'm becoming dumb... that is very clear :( ... In yesterday's dream, I was surfing the net & my friend asked which site I was looking into. I was looking for the URL in all parts of the keyboard, then in monitor & after a lot of difficulty I found that at the bottom of the screen. All the browsers I use (firefox, opera, IE) have URL at the top. I dont know why I searched that in the keyboard & found that at the bottom of the monitor. May be I was looking into the keyboard I'll be using in the future? (crap!)
