true, i think it's probably pseudo-random neurons firing while yr brain is trying to accomplish some other task unrelated to what you happen to be experiencing in the "dream" ....maybe related to processing memories, maybe just keeping yr heart and lungs going.... i don't think it's pure noise, but on the other hand i don't think our brains create "dreams" just to entertain us while we sleep...
