We know so very little about dreams, Are they just fantasies we realize? Products perhaps of the subconscious mind, Working out problems as we sleep at night?
No one yet understands the human brain, Mapping its function is beyond our grasp, Despite the knowledge science has achieved, Its mystery's still a Gordian knot.
How does cognition arise in our brain? What are its secrets we have yet to find? Where does the soul reside, if one exists? And what is hidden from the conscious mind?
What if we were to find to our surprise, Others inhabit that which we most prize?
