Philosophy is meta-thought

It's so simple I almost came in my pants when I had this revelation. If anyone ever asks you to define philosophy, just say "philosophy is the meta of thought". This is the clearest, simplest and most apt definition of philosophy there could ever be.

That you can't describe dreams doesn't mean they are in fact something that is lacking concepts similar to our frame of reference. Like an abstraction chain, we can create pretty deep hierarchies of concepts where some really surreal stuff can be more defined objectively. The personal expirience of our mind in the physical world doesn't control our dream mind: it can sense or imagine novel, new or contradictory ideas without reference to reality - essentially constructing a concept.
Words don't have to be concrete references.
