So, babies in the womb often have periods of activity, then no movement. It would stand to reason that they sometimes are awake and sometimes asleep. Since the brain needs sleep to flush toxins and whatnot, this seems to make sense.

How do we begin life then, asleep and we awaken from a dream state, or do we begin awake and alert, and only later in the womb fall asleep?

What do babies in the womb dream of?

i don't know what good dreams are but i'm sure nightmares are being attacked by a penis.

1. I doubt they're able to process anything.

2. The reason for this is because they haven't experienced anything.

3. Their eyes haven't been open, they've been submerged in let's go ahead and say complete darkness.

It's either agnostic (unknowable) or it doesn't happen. We can lean either way.

Jesus didn't exist.

If babies could think in the womb they would go insane.

Exactly.

Imagine being suspended, unable to move, unable to speak, unable to see.

If you trap yourself in darkness for three days, it'd feel like an eternity.

For 9 months? Insanity.

Human brain development is in flux months post-partum. No one knows what they "dream of", if they even dream at all.

That's not how things work.

1) Babies can and do move.

2) You and I would go crazy, but if you've never known anything else then that's your world. A person born deaf doesn't 'miss' music because they've never experienced it.
