      I respect your position, LabyrinthDreams! However, I'm not sure I agree with your premise, yet!

      Dreams, in a biological/physiological sense, happen at a cellular level. They are in reality a transmission of chemical and electrical signals. And plant cells are more complex than animal cells.

      https://prezi.com/x1cfrlg00z-x/anima...-more-complex/

      Additionally, there is research showing that plants can see, hear, smell, and respond appropriately to their environment.

      BBC - Earth - Plants can see, hear and smell – and respond

      If some dreams serve as to consolidate daily experience, in order to adjust future behavior as a matter of survival, maybe even plants would benefit from dreaming! So, it's not clear to me that plants don't have the organs to dream, as they have complex cells, or that they are the lowest level of life, since it has been my understanding that they've had far more time to evolve than we have.

      I'm still wonderin'!
