Xeno,
"We have enough fantasies in life when we are awake, so why add fuel to the
fire by claiming significance for a state of experience that is far more
disjointed, wandering, and uncoordinated?"
We really don't have a choice in the matter. It's a fact that people dream
and it is a separate state of consciousness. From my observation, animals and
insects rest at night. So, I would guess they too might experience animal or
insect dreams. IMO, dreaming is part of Nature.
As such, I've proposed here in this forum that dreaming is really another
dimension above the space-time continuum. IMO, at the level of the human dream
state, we can see things or events that are above the space-time horizon. This
is the reason why some people can see in the distant future and in the distant
past, even extending to past lives.
I do not disagree that dreaming is a part of Nature. I do not think however
that is it 'in another dimension' or is 'above the space-time continuum',
rather that dreaming is right there in the space-time continuum.
Further, IMO the planets, particularly the Moon, affects the nature of our
dreams. IOW, our mind is connected with the cosmos on a daily basis.
Personally, I found that my dreams are pleasant when the Moon is in the
nakshatra of Krittika. This is the area of the sky where the Pleiades is
located in the sign of Taurus.
For me, astrology has the same significance as dreams, interesting, but
unreliable as a guide to reality.
