Dreams.

1.)  The scientific study of dreaming and/or dreams is called Oneirology, and being a dreamologist would be the easiest job in the world. seriously.  
2.) What are dreams? why do we have these trippy visions every time we close our eyes? Why do some scare us half to death and others put us in a state of pure bliss? Do they serve any purpose or are they just a bonus to keep us entertained as we sleep?
3.) Dreams are caused by the naturally occurring drug DMT. It is the most powerful psychedelic known to man. It is also the most illegal drug there is.  This is also the chemical that is given credit for the warping of time in our dreams, making the seem longer than they actually are.
4.) The average dream is only a few minutes long. In our dreams, reality seems as much of a dream as our dreams do when we are awake. wow. So with the warping of time and the seeming of reality in our dreams could our sleep be as much of a natural domain as our conciseness?

  1. I've always wondered why we dream? Like if there's no way to dream on demand or if dreaming isn't important, then why are we so impacted by what our dreams were last night? I don't know, but it keeps me up at night. Anyway, that you mentioned some cool stuff about DMT naturally occuring. Cool stuff
