   Well, yes, but then again, *why* did any given dream occur?  If it's only the   
   random firing of neurons deep within one's subconscious, then what *caused*   
   (or prompted?) them to fire?  To me, it's a bit like those "dormant genes"   
   everyone has, and the "   
   unused part of your brain"— what happens when one *exercises* that which is   
   "asleep"?  The evaporation / fade / clarity aspects that I've added to my   
   descriptions help me (hopefully others?) to determine how much relative   
   importance any given dream may    
   be built upon.  Clearly, those dreams that just fade and are forgotten before   
   waking are like structures built upon the sand.   
      
   If ever there was some kind of "altruistic" behavior, I'd have to put   
   dream-journaling right up there at the top of them.  Clearly, I've already had   
   any given dream that I post about, and whether it may help or warn me of   
   something in the future seems    
   somewhat irrelevant.  However, if it helps someone *else* in any way, then it   
   would appear I've actually helped myself by helping others.  It would   
   appear.....
