Does your avatar dream when you log off?

There could be a collective consciousness of Second Life itself though, basically an Egragore of SL. I think a good name for it would be Sansara, one of the original names proposed for Second Life, which ended up being the name of its largest continent and in a shorter form became the name for Sansar. 

I've wondered if the name Sansara is derived from Samsara, a Sanskrit word meaning literally "world", but also referring to the karmic cycle of life/death/reincarnation. So that is fitting.

But "Sansara" is also the name of a type of moth, and the moth theme continues in Heterocera, so the connection with Samsara might be coincidence. Or maybe it was originally named after Samsara, and the spelling change is how the moth theme started?

It's well known that dreams are a result of neurons in the brain firing off tiny electrical charges during sleep. Therefore, the only avatars which are able to dream are those using Catwa heads.  And even then, only if you put your avatar to bed before logging off. 

Do the newer catwa heads still have a brain in them? I loved the first heads that had light bulbs, cute touch! ❤️

Simple answer: yes, I wear Catwa HDPro head and Seren has a brain but sadly she still typos; I blame the catnip habit she has!

Yeah, my avatar dreams about another avatar she can't have. I tell her all the time how stupid she is.

My humble opinion. No

[Sid Nagy]

I'm behind my desk in RL.
Sid is the avatar that represents me in SL and that I control completely.
I think. Sid doesn't. He is the puppet and I'm the puppeteer.

Jef Dunham's puppets look full of life when he plays them, but once in their boxes .... 

Same with Sid. When I click on the final "okay" of the day, he is done.
I might dream about Sid and SL occasionally, but he definitely doesn't dream at all. Neither does my forum avatar.

Of course it can be fun to pretend he does at times, but in the end I know who is responsible for the boxes under the Christmas tree.

This is a very good sign someone is addicted to second life.

 

 Your avatar does not dream, it does not explore or go to seedy places while you log off. It just does not exist.

Dragon doesn't dream alone, he and all his forms and characters come with me when I log off to dream alongside me.

They do. It doesn't make me any smarter though.

Random thought as Catwa does have brains so post visit Scarecrow's visit to Wizard of Oz, does that mean other brands are the Scarecrow pre visit to Wizard of Oz?!

That's the thing with Catwa. Lag lets the brain become visible, so it's so easy to tell who's wearing one.

[PermaRuthed]

I don't know if I could ever RL dream at all when I can't remember them. How could I expect my pixel self do the same?

You can turn them off, so the absence of a brain does not mean the head is not a Catwa head.
