Sorry waves but I have to disagree. I dont think we are still in a dream world at 6-8 years old. We've come to the conculsion that we are alive by that time and are trying to figure out why. I have never felt like a kid under the influence of hallucinegens but I've thought a lot about my childhood on them. I think the reason is why is becasuse if you look at it, we are still devoloping at 1-3 years old. meaning our brain is peicing together what we see and isnt actually operating on a need to know basis but merely a I have to live basis. Its main functions arre all that it is doing. Tho along the way it is gathering information to be used to process human life. Our first words are based on us hearing these things over and over again, repetition. If you spoke a different language say you made one up,,,,gibberish. Then I am sure your kid would say those first words when he grew up. It's what has been imprinted into his memory. Also many parents beleive their childs first words are DaDa,Mama,Papa I was having a discussion about this with my mom the other day(she being a hearing impaired teacher) She said this is mearly a coincidence with the fact that those are being the easiest words to say.

I just cannot seem to see how we are still in a dream world once we "remeber" (6-8)
Just does not make sense. We are constently evolving at such a young age.
