1. Forget that 90% of your dreams
After 5 minutes of half the waking, dream if forgotten. Within 10, 90% is gone. The famous poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, woke one morning having had a fantastic dream (likely opium induced) - who put pen to paper and began to describe his "vision in a dream" in what has become one of the poems most famous of English: Kubla Khan. Part through (54 lines, in fact) was interrupted by a "person from Porlock". Coleridge returned to his poem but could not remember the rest of his dream. The poem was never completed.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Towards a sunless sea.
2. External stimuli invade our dreams
This is called sleep Constitution is the experience that most of us have had a sound from reality is heard in our dream and incorporated in some way. A similar (though less external) example would be when you are physically thirsty and your mind incorporates that feeling in his dream. My own experience of this includes repeatedly drinking a large glass of water in the dream which satisfies me, only to find the thirst returning shortly after - this thirst ... drink ... thirsty ... loop often recurs until I wake up and take a real drink.
3 You are paralyzed during sleep
Believe it or not, your body is virtually paralyzed during sleep - more likely to keep your body performing aspects of their dreams.The glands begin to secrete a hormone that helps induce sleep and neurons send signals to the spinal cord that causes the body to relax and later become essentially paralyzed.
4. Who quit smoking have more vivid dreams
People who have smoked cigarettes for a long time left, have reported much more vivid dreams than they normally experience. In addition, according to the Journal of Abnormal Psychology: "Among 293 smokers abstinent from 1 to 4 weeks, 33% reported having at least one dream about smoking. In most dreams, subjects caught smoking and felt strong negative emotions such as panic and guilt. Dreams of smoking were the result of withdrawal of snuff, 97% of subjects have not, while smoking, and their presence was significantly associated with duration of abstinence. they were rated as more vivid than the usual sleep and were as common as most major withdrawal symptoms snuff. "
5. Dreams are not about what you are about
If you dream about a particular topic is not often that the dream is about. Dreams speak in a deeply symbolic language. The unconscious mind tries to compare your dream to something else, which is similar. It's like writing a poem and saying that a group of ants were like machines that never stop. But you could never compare something to itself, for example: "That beautiful sunset is like a beautiful sunset." So whatever symbol your dream picks on it is more likely to be a symbol for itself.
6. Not everyone dreams in colour
A total of 12% of people consider the only dream in black and white. The remaining number dream in full color. People also tend to be common themes in dreams, which are situations relating to school, and chased, running slowly / in place and experiences of sexual, low, arriving too late, and now a dead person alive, teeth falling, flying, failing an exam or a car accident . It is not known whether the emotionally charged more than the impact of a dream relating to violence or the death of the person who dreams in color from black and white dreams.
7. We only dream of whatever we know
Our dreams are often full of strangers who play out certain parts - did you know that your mind is not inventing those faces - they are the real faces of real people that I have seen during your life, but may not know or remember? Fought evil in the latter's dream to be the man who pumped petrol in the car your father when you're just a small child. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces through our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to take advantage of through our dreams.
8. Everyone dreams
The dream of every human being (except in cases of severe psychological disorder) but men and women and different dreams and different physical reactions. Men tend to dream more about other men, while women tend to dream equally about men and women. In addition, men and women alike experience relevant physical interactions through sexual contact for their dreams, no matter if the dream is sexual in nature, the experience of erection and increase the experience of women men blood flow through the vagina.
9. Blind people can dream
People who become blind after birth see in the image of their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any pictures, but also live their dreams involve other senses, touch, sound, smell and emotion. It is difficult for the person who sees to imagine, but the body's need for sleep is so strong that it is able to deal with almost all cases the material to achieve this.
10. Dreams Prevent Psychosis
In a recent study of sleep, woke up students at the beginning of each dream, but still allowed their 8 hours of sleep, all experienced difficulty in concentration, irritability, hallucinations and signs of psychosis after only 3 days. When finally allowed their REM sleep the brain of the students have made up for lost time by greatly increasing the percentage of lost sleep in the REM stage.
