Science does fascinate me. I love everything about it. If I went to college, I'd probably get degrees and masters and such in types of science, just so I could study things of my own findings.
About dreaming and such...you know, I choose to believe that there's more to dreams than just a chemical release in our brains. I could be completely wrong. But I like to think that we're capable of amazing things that right now, science says we're incapable of.
I like talking to you about this stuff. We should do it more.

This seems to be sort of a contradiction - on the one hand, you're talking about how much you love science, but it's clear that you only love science so long as you still are choosing to believe things that all the scientific evidence says you shouldn't. Lots of people believe lots of crazier things and there's nothing wrong with believing what you do, although I'm with Frownland in my disagreement with you on this specific issue. What you shouldn't do is act like you're somehow totally on board with the scientific method and with studies that have been done despite having these beliefs.
