One word that is overlooked when discussing brain functioning is the word PREDOMINANTLY.
Both hemispheres of the brain are actually capable of logic or emotions. As with our limbs we have a predominant side that does certain functioning. If necessary the other can and will take over the necessary task.
Dreams are communications from the mind. Our minds are said to form some 60,000 thoughts a day and yes we even daydream. Now I'll ask a question in a different form.
Why should be be capable of less in our dreams than we are in our waking state... we still have the same brain when we go to sleep?
