On Dreams [1.1]

Dreams are one of the most peculiar things that we experience in our everyday lives. We sleep everyday(hopefully) and most people dream everyday. It's a common experience that most people share. Although we have the liberty to experience it everyday, it's not exactly something we can easily force upon ourselves at will. We dream about various things, including our past experiences, possible experiences, and the unknown. There seems to be almost no limit to what we can and can't dream about. I once had a dream where I was at Port Discovery on a school field trip. Two years later, I went on a field trip to Port Discovery and every detail was exactly the same as my impeccable memory remembered it. Very curious, is it not? But I propose a far-fetched hypothesis.

Consider the following. What if our dreams are visions of ourselves in different parallel universes? What if when we enter REM(Rapid Eye Movement; the period in which most of our dreaming occurs) sleep, we're viewing a version of ourselves or our lives in a parallel world? That would explain the various dreams in which it seems as though we're seeing the future and it comes true. Of course, this has just about no evidence or proof supporting; simply a ridiculous, but interesting hypothesis that came to my mind.
