Is our subconscious smarter than our waking self?

Question

We all have incredibly imagantive dreams, dreams that are so creative we couldnt make something half as creative when we are awake. But we only remember a few dreams each night, studies suggest we have around 10 dreams a night. So in reality our most creative dream is probably one we didnt remember. We remember so little statistics say the best are the unremembered. Also consider that the brain is working on reduced capacidity when you sleep. Also consider that dreams are instantly made. Our brain doesnt spend months planning the story like a writer would.

Answer 1

Yes, subcouncious is much smater than our waking self ,because waking self is controlled by sub/un-councious.

Answer 2

I believe that our dreams just take our memories and mash them up all together. Sure, it's creative, but it's illogical. Say you put all your dreams in a book. It wouldn't make any sense.

Also, I don't believe that our subconscious is smarter. Try not sleeping for a few days. Ask anyone if you've gotten smarter or dumber.

Answer 3

I would say yes. I believe in reincarnation of spiritual beings, so  that accumulative knowledge can possibly foster itself in ones dreams.

Answer 4

Sigmund Freud: The Interpretation of Dreams
