Assuming this is true, one's inner mind's eye could be thought of as a computer simulation framework which uses its internally stored memories to render concepts and ideas at varying levels of detail. Although the detail at which this renders concepts during every day living is usually low, during [[dreams]] and [[internal hallucinations|hallucinations]] this system is capable of generating data that is detailed enough to be hyper-realistic and indistinguishable from waking life. This includes the ability to generate [[autonomous entities]] which are fully capable of coherent conversations.

This suggests that dreams are simply a neurological computer simulation framework which becomes activated during sleep. It's database is comprised of internally stored concepts which one has encountered throughout their life. This randomizes, shuffles and splices its particular set of memories, concepts and variables together in a manner which places emphasis tags ~~are placed~~ upon concepts with recency and personal emotional significance.

The question as to why such a system would exist within the brain at all is an interesting one. It perhaps ~~existing~~ for the simple and basic purpose of generating potential scenarios which one may encounter in life as a means of internal practice to encourage survival should the potential event occur in real life. This would explain why dreams play such a huge emphasis on one's own fears and desires and indicates that they therefore serve a fundamentally important evolutionary function.
