The perceived consciousness levels of dream entities is truly bizarre.
Why do most humans not find this fascinating!?
"It's only a dream!" syndrome is prevalent. Now that's bizarre!

An interesting article, although I still lean towards whatever/whomever was in that dream was independent of myself.

I have a story to share. Years ago I had a wisdom tooth taken out, and a cyst that was behind it as well to have a biopsy done on it. I got infected as the antibiotics didn't work and slipped into being septic. I had taken my then wife to work about 40 minutes away due to a bad snowstorm we were having.

I went home and went to bed, where I alternated between chills and sweats. But during that weird sleep, I had a bizarre dream. In this dream, I had come up with a mathematical formula that solved every problem in the world. It didn't matter what the problem was, it could be solved with this formula. It was one of those long dreams where months or longer went by. I even won the nobel prize because it brought world peace, lol.

So anyway, my alarm goes off and I'm so feverishly out of it that the entire drive through the snow storm I still believed I had figured out this damn math formula. It wasn't until my wife was in the car and I began telling her what I'd done that I made the connection it had happened in a dream. Then I was disappointing because I had written it down on a board several times sharing it in my dream and couldn't remember the slightest bit of what I had written in that dream. Not that I lean towards I came up with any such formula, but after the things Edgar Cayce pulled off from that state to others stories it would have been interesting to at least see if it solved anything.

Damn! The frustration! I've dreamt in both maths and code and geometry. Strangely, the geometry problem was correct - the symbolic solutions... just evaporated upon waking. Like the ashen remains of a BBQ, but can't remember what one ate.
