There's a theory that dreams serve as a sort of simulation mechanism for our brain to think through how to respond to various potential situations. It argues that is why natural disaster nightmares are so prevalent, and why our dreams are so weird (monkey brain does not understand modern society).
Anyways, good for them, I'm glad their brain figured out what to do about hypothetical McWeird.

Sounds legit. The monster was probably expecting you to run, and ready to punish it like an elden ring boss punishes dodging backwards.
But in all seriousness, like any theory out of evolutionary psychology it's of very questionable utility insofar as it is unfalsifiable. I just find it fun to think about and mentally give my brain a "you tried" sticker after a weird dream.

If you have a good imagination and a strong application you can fly in dreams too. But i think only a specific few can fly or control their dreams.

It's called lucid dreaming. I've read that it can be trained.
Zoot 8 points a year ago
It is extremely difficult to train, however, I've found that even the act of trying to lucid dream has made me incredibly good at falling asleep no matter what the circumstances are, and yet to date, I've only managed to do it like 3 times of the 14 years I've known about it.
I have up rather easily, having a dream journal is just not something my adhd brain can handle. But it's still been a nice skill to atleast practice when I remember it.

No way... I thought everyone flew in their dreams (like, it was a normal thing we all did), and most could control their dreams (once they learned to discriminate between reality and dreamland). Is this not the case??

Someone on reddit commented to the effect that dreams are our brain's combat simulators. Had just a touch of PTSD at the time and that really, really hit home.
Wow! Guess the commenter wasn't as original as I thought. Took a poke at finding the original and Gemini spit up a reference to threat simulation theory (TST), which turns out to be a real thing!

That's an interesting take. Simulation for dealing with life.

Had a dream last night that I wanted an iced coffee (i cant have caffiene IRL) and there was a Starbucks, but behind the Starbucks was a McDonald's (imagine one of those houses that has another house behind it situation).
I went to the McDonald's for the iced coffee because it would be cheaper, but I couldn't find it on their menu. They decided not to sell it at this particular location because they were in cahoots with the starbucks.

I wonder which voice he heard. The one we hear ourselves, or the one we hear in the recording of our voice.

I don't know if my taste buds changed or if the formula changed, but I loved that thing back in the 90s. I tried one a few years ago and it was cloyingly sweet and the bread was stale.
These days I'm pretty much always disappointed on the rare occasion I get fast food (usually while traveling and needing something I can eat quickly) because the bun is always stale. I don't know if I just got to the point where it never tastes good or if things really used to be better.

The last time I remember it coming through a friend talked me I to trying it since I had not had one since they first came out due to not liking them. He said it was as good as he remembered. It was as awful as I remember, overly sweet sauce and a repulsive texture.
The bread being stale is a store level issue. My bun was fine, just a generic fast food roll like I remembered.
I probably disliked it because of having regular and easy access to good BBQ as a kid, including rib meat sandwiches. Not the best BBQ ever, just way above McDonald's lame attempt.

Sounds like something some company would have done in the 2000s. Not McDonald's, but...I'm getting a Sony vibe. It's something Sony's game division would have done.

Had a dream in college while napping that McDonalds was offering 200 chicken nuggets for $20. I frantically texted my friends that I was gonna take a nap and then we were gonna move on that before McDonalds realized what a deal that was. Then in my dream I walked home and got in bed before waking up for real. The disappointment that followed was possibly the biggest disappointment of my life.
