There is just too much convoluted detail to my dreams for my head to have come up all of with it.

My sense is the brain is like a radio and we are constantly picking up these signals out of the ether and they just come together however.

Given we have these little devices that do it, wouldn't a few billions years of evolution have incorporated something similar?

I certainly do it waking as well. From the floaters that are others concentrating in my direction, to the errant thoughts my head picks up around other people.

The first time I remember was when as a little kid, I was laying on the porch, watching this ant, when it stopped, like it sensed something, then I saw this tiny cone of perception waving around with its antennae.

A spiritual absolute would be that essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. The light shining through the film, than the stories playing out on it.
