Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's like our dreams are AI generated. Words and times are nonsense.

Well, they've definitely been created by a neural network.

My belief is that it's the animal that underpins the conscious mind. The same animal we start out as at birth, but grow beyond (some more than others). Dreams are it's way of interpreting the sea of sensory input we absorb, but being an animal - a ball of instinct wrapped around a pattern matching algorithm - it can't read, or count, it doesn't really understand any of it at all, it just recognises how things are usually related (not entirely unlike the AI image generators) on an instinctual level. Occasionally, on waking, the conscious mind will catch a glimpse of what's happening and try to contextualise it, applying more complex, learned thought processes to fill in the blanks and explain the nonsense, but dreams rarely make sense in their raw form.
