there was an interesting predator/prey study on dreams done that i read many years ago..something to the effect of dreams being subconscious instinctual mechanisms to enhance and ensure survival - in the case of prey - avoidance (flight) and awareness, whatev, and predator, speed and attack whatev. i will look around for it. this hit home right leading up to and immediately after 2001. husband was miserable in corporate job, from which he was ultimately severed, and i was having recurring dreams of moving into different houses and apartments, sometimes going back in time, to less appeaing abodes. while still in dream,  i would become suddenly aware of a great gnawing sense of loss ...my home!! then would wake to the relief of reality that the house was still here, and i still had time to...take heed, do something!

survival, warning, wake-up call?
