Ghosts of the Mind

          have you ever thought about the possibility of what i call "Ghosts of the Human Mind"? Have you ever pondered about those things that go bump in the night in your mind? Those twisting shadows of fear? i have. This document is purely theory. hope you enjoy.

         what if in theory, the human mind was sort of like a computer that interacted with our surroundings? it would take in and store the data from our day to day lives, and file it and do the things that computer do. now then, lets say that you watch a movie that plays on your fears. not a slasher like the jason movies, but psychological movies like hannibal lector movies and that sort that play upon your mind. combine that with your inner fears. now lets say that the mind like a computer does, goes "on the fritz". the files that are all properly sorted in your memory

banks get all mixed up and mashed together, thus creating nightmares. now lets take those nightmares that normally you would just shirk off as just your mind playing tricks, and magnify them to the point where they become night terrors, or dreams where your asleep but it seems like your awake and its realistic. now then, where do meet the threshold where dreams end and reality begins? how do we determine what the mind has created and what is real?

         Now this leads to the real question: is what we think reality reality or is it just  something created by our minds? what if our minds are somehow linked like a wireless network? and all that we perceive is just a fabrication of our mind? what if we are all just dreaming a horrible wonderful dream? no one knows. i think that we will never know. but i do theorize that the human mind is much more than we know. that it is much more capable of things we dont understand.
