WHO DO WE DREAM?

Summary

The main theme is the purpose of dreaming as a defense mechanism for the visual cortex. This is supported by the concept of the visual cortex being repurposed by other senses if not regularly stimulated, as observed in experiments with blindfolded individuals. The takeaway is that dreams are the brain's way of generating visual activity to preserve its visual processing capabilities against sensory takeover, especially on a planet with alternating periods of light and darkness.
