  • It’s effectively your brain doing automatic white balance, it sees everything being tinted cyan so it just sorta subtracts cyan from the area, which results in white being reddish

    you can do this physically (by tiring out the colour-sensing cells in your eyes) if you stare at a colour for about 30 seconds then quickly look at a white surface, you should see the inverse of the first colour.














  • eh i don’t think most of that is true, pretty sure the dreams you remember are only the insane ones because you actually make an effort to remember them when you wake up.

    To my knowledge dreams exist because our brains use the downtime of sleep to run simulations so we can practice stuff and sort of prepare for unexpected situations.

    i think the reason we forget dreams is just because there’s no point in keeping it around, the brain has already benefited from the dreams and it’d be unfortunate if we mistook a dream for reality and screwed something up because of that.
