Some people say that we reason we sleep is because our brain needs that time to organize all the sensory data it received during the day, and I don't know if that's true or not, but it certainly would help explain the problem solving ability your brain has when you sleep.

When you're awake, your brain and imagination are pretty much confined to a certain way of thinking, but your subconscious isn't confined in the same way, and this always it to run free and invent things that aren't allowed when you're awake.

That's my theory anyway.

It's just too bad that we don't have an easy access to all that brain power, unless we're asleep, but it is interesting how dreams do that very thing, except it's done in some kind of weird code.

The brain just fascinates the hell out of me.
