A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Not all dreams are projections of your own aspirations or true self image.

They're random scenarios put together by your brain during sleep for purposes we don't entirely understand yet, though they may be related to digesting the information you've gathered over the previous day to turn it into lessons and connections you can call on later from your unconscious memory.
