Okay, so we all know that things sleep.
Scientists aren't particularly baffled why, since they just apply the idea that in our sleep we process the data we have seen that day so we don't go all postal on people.
But if you think about it, when people faint when they get very scared, their minds are processing the information of what they have just seen. So logically speaking, we process information to get over things that set off our emotions to a peak.
Could it be, that the reason we don't use most of half of our brain when we're conscious, is because it's already processing information that we can't really see/take in consciouslly? And it's been doing that for millions of years?
Because if we took it in consciously, the information wouldn't make sense e.g. supernatural stuff.
That could explain why babies and children 'see things' more than normal people, as they don't know how to process the information.
Perhaps that's why people rationalise the things they've seen, as it's supposed to be sub-conscious and is accidentally taken in consciously?
After all, we've all seen something at least once at some point, so it could be an error in our mental defence system.
In other words, everyone can see supernatural things going on, except it just doesn't register most of the time. So when we don't sleep we're able to see what really is happening in the world.
Just a random idea...Any ideas Fortean folks, freaks and frog-men?
