How many different types of dreams are there?

Answer 1

There are two scientifically proven types of dreaming:

* Normal Dreaming - which we all experience for an average of 100 minutes every night. The average person may only remember one dream per night but this can be improved by keeping a dream journal. * Lucid Dreaming - is a skill that anyone can develop by practicing certain memory techniques and raising their self-awareness. It requires the realization that you are dreaming in order to become conscious and control the dream itself. People have been having lucid dreams for thousands of years but it was only formally categorized in the 1970s. Some people claim (but it is not scientifically proven) to perform:

* Precognitive Dreaming - dreams which predict the future. * Mutual Dreaming - where people meet up in a dream.
