1. men and women dream differently
there are endless reasons why men and women are so different and to add on top of that list is their way of dreaming following different research results it's been concluded that there are distinctive differences between women and men's dreamsmen's dreams are commonly associated with lots of violence and physical activities like running driving and fighting women, on the other hand, have dreams that elicit an emotional response rather than physical these are associated with events that leave them feeling excluded and rejected more interesting is that men and women's dreams are no different from their daily lives were men are attracted to weapons and women are knee-deep into anything fashion-related they interestingly carry these same traits into the dream worldmaking each of them dreams about the things that they fancy another thing that researchers realized was that women have much longer dreams when compared to men and in these dreams the women have more people in their dreams who can unbiasedly be either male or female however have more male characters in their dreams compared to female characters one common similarity between the two genders are that every character whovisits the dreamland is supposedly afamiliar facei know it seems strange because you canprobably bet your life you've never meta good number of the people you dreamabout but facts never lie.
2. everybody dreams
if you're like me and you like to probe people about their dreams then you've most likely heard this phrase countless times I just don't-dream contrary to the belief that there's aspecial type of people who never dream science has proven that everyone without exception does indeed dream one person can have up to several dreams in one single night this is because your whole brain never sleeps the same time during the day the most active part of the brain is your conscious side while at night your conscious brain rests and the subconscious part takes over as you sleep you go through different sleep stages and dreaming usually occurs in the rem sleep stages even when you wake up with no recollection be sure that you spend about two hours of your night dreaming it just happens that you forgot what you dreamt about fun fact did you know that if you'relucky enough to live to a ripe old age you'll have spent a good six years of your life dreaming.
3. not all dreams are colored do you
know that in 1940 only about a fraction of the population reported dreaming in color this phenomenon is associated with environmental exposure it's said that because there weren't any color TVs in those days dreams were set up in mostly black and white however the percentage of people who only dream in black and white is very low and accounts for only 12 percent of the population while the remaining 88 percent are lucky to experience colored dreams scientists noticed something mind-boggling as they researched dream psychology which was that most of the colors associated with dreams were solved this included pastel colors of light pink hues and mild blues which made dreams very peaceful HD dreams are considered an upgrade from black and white ones because of the invention of colored TVs.
4. you can control your dreams
up until today, I didn't know that I could control my dreams psychology expounds into the depths of dreams resulting in lucid dreamers being equipped with the ability to control their dreams not only that but they're also fully aware that they're inside a dream good news is that both you and I are qualified to be in control of our dreams the only limitation is that we need to be in a state of limbo where our subconscious mind will be alert for us to possess this power Luckenbach insists that video game addicts are more capable of entering the lucid dreams that state they usually imagine themselves outside their bodies the ability to control your dream gives you an added advantage making you turn a horrific nightmare into a harmless dream being able to control dreams also plays a big role in assisting recovering PTSDveterans and I'm not sure about you but to me, the ability to control dreams is just the best or what do you think.
5. negative dreams
negative dreams are more common like the mind the heart never falls asleep and this might explain the rollercoaster emotional train we experience during dreams sleep studies have revealed that people experience a mirage of emotions while sleeping they can be frustrated heartbroken anxious happy feel loved or stressed but even with a list full of emotions the subconscious mind picks the most negative emotions more often than the rest that means you're five times more likely to have negative emotions as you dream compared to positive ones they've also listed some things that steer the dream train wheel to the negative side due to the stress in real-life more interesting is certain things like how your room smells can affect which emotion you'll experience in your dreams according to research green light and diffuser oils such as chamomile lavender promotes sleep and can lead toa better sleep experience.
6. your pet also dreams
it's not uncommon to see your dog or carjacking its feet in the thin air while they're asleep besides that you can wakeup from a terrible claw attack from your pet as they sleep in your bed only foryou to realize that it was not in anythe way a premeditated attack and they're actually, fast asleepthat's a sure sign that your pet isdreaming to back up such findings scientists claim that even animals gothrough the sleep stages of remand-rem which makes them fully equippedto experience dream it's unlikely though that they can experience thisphenomenon exactly like humans do since they can't remember people's facesneither do their dreams have a storyline?that they follow seven blind people dream visually you'd think that because someone is blind they can't dream in pictures the fact of the matter is that even people who were born blind still undergo the rem process however, occurs at a reduced rate in people with visual disabilities because of this the likelihood of this type of dream occurring is one in about 10dreams I'm as baffled as you are wondering what the dreamers make of those dreams.
7. our days inform our dreams as
mentioned before as we go through our daily activities the conscious mind is more active it's busy trying to make sense of everything that's going on around us additionally, it bears the tasks of deciphering the meaning of phrases said while communicating so that one can efficiently respond they grasp different colors places and faces we interact with meaning that the conscious brain is always busy taking in information while all this is going on the subconscious mind is on the sidelines taking in the same information in the evening as you go to sleep your subconscious mind gets to work filtering through all the information and experiences of the day in case you experience something unsettling your mind will force you to tackle that matter head-on in your dreams this process helps the brain get rid of junk from your system to give way for new information tomorrow when you wake up the process once again begins this is also, the reason why we have multiple dreams in a single night.
8. dreams in the morning
longer dreams occur in the morning aA tiring night most likely means a goodnight's sleep for many as you wander out into dreamland immediately you fall asleep you'll fall into the first stage which is the rem which only lasts for as long as five minutes before you fall into the other sleep stage of NREMthroughout the night your mind and body will interchangeably fall into these two stages surprisingly the more you go back into the rem stage the longer it will last in the last third of the night you'll experience the longest shift into the rem stage as this happens you'll bein the right timing to experience longer dreams they'll be more vivid and these are the dreams that people are more likely to remember.
9. Dreams of a person
entering another person's dreams have you ever wondered why sometimes you have a hard time searching for sleep well scientists believe that if you can sleep the probable reason is that you're awake in another person's dream I'm still trying to figure out how that works but for now we'll have to agree without a doubt so if you're getting insomnia frequently you're probably very popular in many people's dreams or even in a single person's vivid dreams about you.
10. violent dreams
violent dreams are a warning sign studies have clarified the issue of violent dreams concluding that the recurrence of the common sleep disorder where you experience violent dreams punched the air or maybe wake up with a shrill scream are all early signs of brain disorder including dementia and any other common Parkinson disease amongst boxers if you've come across such an element or maybe you've experienced it you must seek medical advice some people suffer different brain disorders even without knowing until it's too late identified early the disorder is manageable through therapy and medication please don't shy away because of what people might think of you be bold and stay healthy don't worry if your sleep has been interrupted with a bad dream before but concern arises when the violent dreams increase.
11. You can't read in dreams
you can't read while dreaming as bizarre as it sounds we're incapable of reading while dreaming dreams take our minds into a deep meditative state if I may say making it impossible to act out anything unless you're a lucid dreamer even for them, they're unable to tell the time or read through their subconscious mind is alert and running if you think it's a hoax try reading inside your dream or even check the clock while sleeping and let us know if it was possible to read or tell the time.
12. Complicated dreams
Dreams get more complicated as the wind of the night and a good night’s sleep is what everyone craves especially after a long day the feeling of lying in your bed in the evening is just the best feeling No more stress away from the hustle and bewilderment left with just relaxation What many of us are unaware For what happens once we close our eyes and sleep some can remember their dreams while others are not those who sleep longer hours their dreams are much deeper which sometimes gets weirder with time slowly many hours of sleep means many hours of deep sleep where we can at this point Wandering far and wild in dreamland allowing our minds to confront our fears and reorganize our thoughts and emotions What was your experience when you were sleeping for hours Have your dreams been weird along the way Don't worry that dreams play an important role in your mind besides just relaxing your body without getting enough From sleep you are doomed to face serious health problems such as heart complications among other fundamental issues.
