To state the obvious technically all we have is neural pathways that are
stimulated and these are processed by the brain - there tends to be no one
to one relationship between stimuli and response - in dreams neurons fire at
random and the brain in a desperate attempt to make sense of these create a
collage - this collage seems to stimulate other areas of the brain including
those that govern our emotions, etc. - to wit the potential for nightmares
as well as sexual experiences - when we wake we further process these
experiences into a narrative - editing out or forgetting significant
portions of our dreams - eg. The dream or nightmare content is the result of
post production
