As a cognitive scientist with a focus on the study of dreams and the human mind, I can tell you that the question of whether our mind creates faces in dreams is a fascinating one. Research suggests that the human mind does not invent entirely new faces in our dreams. Instead, it utilizes a vast database of faces that we have encountered throughout our lives. These faces may come from a wide range of sources, including people we've met, characters from movies or books, or even faces we've only glimpsed in passing. During the dreaming process, our mind may combine and recombine these familiar faces to create new composite images. This can result in dream characters that seem unfamiliar, even though they are constructed from elements of faces we have seen before. It's also worth noting that the brain's ability to process and recall faces is highly developed, which is why we have such a rich reservoir of faces to draw upon in our dreams. read more >>
