It is certainly a great fact/truth that the ability of thought to **describe** *or* reconfigure sensory experience is **ultimately** dependent upon the extent to which thought is similar to sensory experience. It occurs to me that dreams make thought **more like** sensory experience in general, thereby improving upon memory *and* **understanding**. Thoughts are invisible. The space in dreams is visible **and** invisible in fundamental equilibrium and balance, thereby making sensory experience maximally consistent with/similar to thought. This improves upon memory **and** understanding. There is no outsmarting the genius of dreams. 

Dreams balance being and experience. Dream experience is possible/potential **and** actual **in balance**. Dreams balance conscious and unconscious experience.
