Chris, I completely agree with you. Somtimes I think they're woven complexities - stories, symbols, etc., that simply help us to some answers about ourselves, or allow us to solve certain problems while our conscious minds are stalled and no longer in control.
Sometimes I think they're the other half of my life.
I love, love, love dreaming. And more often then not they clue me into certain mysteries about myself I've been unable or unwilling to solve on my own when I'm awake. I really rely on them.
Sometimes I can tell when they're just escapist entertainment, though. Like a daydream I've lost control of. I love those, as well.
