Like, oh, I had a dream about this and this happened.

Right.

Probably going to butcher the pronunciation, but it's like oniromancy, understanding what dreams mean, how they can tell the future.

Every culture has been interested in that because dreaming is kind of a weird thing.

Like you go to sleep, you die for like eight hours.

You don't exist in the real world, but you are in another world.

You know, it's kind of a weird thing that happens.

Yeah.

And what's interesting about it is like cats, you talked about cat, like cat's dream, rat's dream, dog's dream.

We're at least, let's say conservatively, 70 maybe million years diverged from small mammals like that.

Meaning that that machinery has been around for a long time in mammals.

And then the example with octopus, octopus have an entirely different nervous system than us.

So not only is it interesting that they dream, it's interesting because they're

they evolved that ability separately from the mammalian line because it's an entirely different type of nervous system.

So dreaming must have been so important in some way that not only has it been conserved for millions of years, but it actually evolved separately twice in kind of the same way in different nervous systems.

So again, just a suggestion that

It's important for something, or it was at some point, and potentially threats or threat learning might be a good explanation for that.

So just have an acid trip.

Yeah, I think there just there wouldn't need to be a plot and there wouldn't need to be necessarily.

Yeah.
