ABSTRACT
It should be evident that the Invisible Storyteller (IS) is synonymous with the imagination or at least that the IS has the imagination at its disposal to do its work, which it appears to do not only while dreaming but at other times. It appears that the IS self-organizes and improves with development - this should be no surprise, of course; it has to happen at some point since zygotes don't have it. But the fact that the dream-making capacity develops along with visuo-spatial intelligence rather than a host of other variables helps to understand a little bit more about what the IS is really apparently for: organization and creative problem solving. The idea that dreaming is about problem solving has quite a bit of evidence behind it as well, particularly when one looks at patterns across longitudinal dream series reports. These functions of organization, problem solving, and narrative formation are also discussed.
