A dream can be called a state of consciousness in which it is devoid of a vector, that is, it freely changes its direction and it is the intermittency of states of consciousness that allows the dream to discover what it cannot achieve in the waking state: discoveries, insights received in a dream are the result of these leaps , overcoming chasms for which there was not enough strength in the vector state - it gives freedom to leaps of consciousness

However, the dream consciousness is incapable of giving the idea form, incapable of analyzing and synthesizing it, although it is capable of highlighting it in the integrity of the synthesis. Another important feature of a dream is its symbolism. The images that the vectorless consciousness captures are not associated with experience and are therefore expressed in symbols - universal elements of meaning diffused in the universe. The dream is metaphorical in nature, it is devoid of direct answers and direct actions

The consciousness of each person enters from time to time a state that can be described by the term “waking dream”, that is, consciousness does not fall out of “reality”, but, at the same time, acquires the characteristics of a Dream. The world in this state is perceived as a symbol, and the events in it do not have a strict relationship. This state can be both fruitful and dangerous. In addition to the fact that they can lead to loss of adequacy and insanity, they, like any dream, open the mind to various predators seeking to master it

In addition, if a joint “nighttime” dream is very rare and requires special skills and inclination, then a “waking dream” may well be experienced by several people, which also increases its value. Moreover, such a “dreamer” can adequately interact with “waking” people, and this interaction can be mutually beneficial
