Reply to comment by Sigmarsson137 in After many many years of evolution, we still can't control what we dream by HSJoaco_33

Even if it would, of course that still doesn't mean it has to evolve. I'm sure there are plenty of plants that would be helped out greatly by the ability to quickly retract into the ground when being eaten. But the fact that you can think of a possible possible helpful feature, doesn't mean that evolution has to arrive there

Of course, just wanted to point out that there’s little incentive to evolve in that direction either

Yea definitely! Besides, afaik the function of dreams, if there is any, isn't exactly known at the moment, so it's difficult to speculate on top of to begin with lol
