I've dreamt of plane crashes a couple of times before flights, but have never been in a crash and have flown a lot in the past 45 years. (Was in a twin-engine aircraft once that lost an engine. We hightailed back to port pretty quickly, but no dramas.)
What's the point of dreams, and why do some people (e.g. Mrs Epictetus) remember them in detail, but I can hardly ever remember them at all?
A friend once suggested that dreams are like a computer defragmenting. All the bits and pieces of your life get swept up as flotsam and jetsam in your dreams. Seems reasonable to me.
To me, dreams are nonsense, but that doesn't explain why we have them.
