Are dreams an unconscious architect of our hidden creativity?

I think that dreams are multi-functional, but mostly they serve to keep you asleep. Most likely they extend your final moments of consciousness to fool your mind into thinking it is awake; by using images that you have recently seen, and combining emotions with those images. Sometimes dreams are non-sensical, but often they move in a sequence. This can be explained by the very nature that humans have....to make sense of the world they perceive. all in all dreams will not tell you anything that you do not already know consciously or otherwise. What they can do is bring blocked emotions to the table, and allow you to deal with them in a relatively safe environment.

Dreams are a filing system translated through surreal interpretations based on our experiences and filtered through the subconscious mind. Information is not as we view so maybe it is reality that is surreal. The subconscious world in which dreams dwell is also where seeds of creative impulses are born, so they live together in there, so the unconscious and subconscious origins are certainly connected with the dream world but not necessarily are the dreams a conveyancy of the creative ability.

But then what do i know - i am asleep and this is all a dream......

At times, sometimes a dream is merely a visualization of a subconscious want or need. Regardless of whether a dream is meant to show hidden creativity, or merely to express an unknown desire, they are infinitely useful in self exploration.

Maybe so, however not as much as your daily interactions with various peoples, places, and things. I am constantly inspired as an artist by my surroundings, however rarely remember any of my dreams, no matter how much I may want to, or how hard I might try.
