Recurring Dreams

No religion is testable and I understand that creationism and other stories from the bible can be described as bad science. But I'd like to revise. Religion is not bad science, it simply isn't science at all. Which is fine and dandy, that's not to say that faith is bad it is just not science. I agree with Hobson that dreams are sporatic scenarios that we create in order to explain a physical stomach ache or such. It makes sense. But I don't know if he successfully answers my question about recurring dreams. Because I've been having this one dream at least three times every year or a long time now. Is it because our minds get used to the story, so when we physically feel that certain pain, or hungar, whatever, that story kicks into our mind. Are there only a number of dreams corrosponding to the number of physical feelings that we get? If so, are these dreams what our choices consist of? Maybe its not that we are protecting our sleep, although we need sleep to survive. I think that maybe after having these recurring dreams, since we know how it is going to end, we try to push ourselves past the last time that we woke up, maybe to get more of the story.

Protection of the habitat as well...

Yes. More and more people are watching porn. Although, there are many genres that treat the subjects in the pornography as equals, some even give the women a stronger role. Not dominitrix or anything, but the ability to say no and to have some control. Many of my friends are into that stuff. Maybe it is the creativity that they thrive on, I'm not sure. The fact is that it is still a falsified reality, but so are books. The genre of eroticism in books have been around for many years now. And with women's sexual revolution and realization of the power of one's own body it is not "unnatural" for women to be curious. This growing independence I do not see to be a bad thing in any way. But the porn that we were talking about in class is not a art, it isn't creative or imaginative in any way. It is exploitation of women, and men in some cases, just as some zoos are exploitating animals. But I think that ecotourism and conservation efforts through sanctuaries for animals are important in reviving the species that human kind has diminished and in many instances destroyed. But the fact is that the habitats have to be protected as well as the animals. Otherwise, what is the point if the animals being protected in captivity have no where to go afterwards?

Pornographic zoos

Zoos are pornographic in the sense that the animals are being demeaned and exploited, as women are mainly exploited in main male oriented pornography. The animals are not wild and can not be no matter what the food is that is given to them, or how well they are being taken care of. The interaction over long periods with humans is going to change the animal. The cages and bars containing the animals does not allow the animal to be "wild" or "real." This falsifies the animal, as does pornography to women. The image of the woman in porn is not of an actual woman, it is instead imaginary. But the image of a woman gives viewers the idea that all women are like this and should be treated this way. The addict of porno is changed as well. He is no longer a real man looking for a real woman. INstead he is falsified with wrong judgements and is happy with his false image of the other sex. This kind of fear of reality promotes insecurity and being anti-social to the extent of looking for human connections through exploitive images.
