Search activity in the subsequent wakefulness is restored by the virtual activity in dreams based on the dominating DA brain system and this virtual activity is often chaotic. It is common for humans and animals. At the same time in wakefulness chaotic activity is not protective. It means that in dreams the activity by itself is more important than its belonging to the particular form. What is specific for humans is the polysemantic nature of human dreams based on the right hemisphere type of thinking that is solving the intra-psychic conflicts and overcomes repression as a particular human’s type of renunciation of search.
