I have been a sleep therapist for 5 years and have studied under the best doctors at MUSC teaching hospital. You dream in a period(or stage, there are four: N1, N2, N3, REM) during sleep called "REM" (rapid eye movement). Every single person on the planet, along with many other animals go through REM. In fact 95% of people go through REM 4-5 times a night, every night, for their entire lives. Each period of REM can last between 5 minutes and sometimes up to an hour and a half, and it is normal to have multiple dreams during each REM period! That adds up to 50 or 60 different dreams every single night of your entire life! But remembering them is another story. It is argued that the better quality sleep you get you remember less of your dreams. It has been proven that if you do not commit a dream to memory upon waking that it disappears from memory. From my personal experience I have formulated this: people tend to remember the one or two dreams they had right before waking up, and have a much easier time remembering them if they wake up directly out of REM, but so far I have seen no correlation between age, sex, race, or quality of sleep and remembering one's dreams.
Sleep researchers have observed that most subjects go through the stages of sleep about every 90 to 100 minutes, averaging somewhere around 8 or 9 full cycles each night. But there might be several dreams in each full cycle, including dreams in non-REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. So it is impossible to pinpoint exactly how many dreams someone might have in one night. Moreover, individuals are as unique in their dreaming habits as they are in every other way.
Yes, it is quite normal to dream numerous times during each night.
not at all you may have heard teachers, your parents, and maybe your spouse tell you to pay attention when they are talking to you. my friends always tell me that my eyes turn dark like as if i am asleep but with my eyes open. day dreaming is not bad but you have to control it in order to NOT get in trouble
It is normal to dream of persons whom one likes and thinks about a lot. If one no longer likes the ex, and intentionally puts that person from one's thoughts, it would also be natural no longer to dream of that ex.
A dream-initiated lucid dream starts as a normal dream, and the dreamer eventually concludes it is a dream.
The dream merely reflects the dreamer's affection for the friend. Affection need not have any romantic or sexual significance; friendship is a normal, healthy form of love with no sexual connotations. .
Dreaming about people you know, especially people with whom you've had a significant relationship, is very normal. At some point in your life, your brain devoted a lot of energy to this person and stored a lot of memories. What people are doing in dreams, and how you feel about it in the dream, is more meaningful than just who it is.
Not normal but not impossible, it maybe directly related to your feelings. You maybe too intense, stressed, fearful or over-infatuated. But not all dreams have meaning, some are what they seem, mixed-up nonsense. they have a purpose that is not open to meaningful interpretation.
Yes it is normal if you get a young man's number and dream of him after because you probably are very interested in him and excited he gave out his number.
By definition, a lucid dream is a dream in which the dreamer not only is aware of dreaming but also has conscious control of the dream. If one cannot stop or alter the course of the dream, one is not actually in a lucid dream. The question describes an ordinary, normal dream in which one happens to know one is dreaming.
you dream so much because the chemicals in your body create this form of cells that are really excitied from the THC causing you to dream a lot. you dream so much because the chemicals in your body create this form of cells that are really excitied from the THC causing you to dream a lot. Source? I'd like a little more detail. I think this isn't right I'm meaning AFTER I stop smoking for the time for my hormonal balance to return to more normal THEN I get excessive dreaming.
Papakura Normal School's motto is 'Dream It, Believe It, Achieve It'.
The fact that you dream a lot about a certain person is caused by your own feelings about that person. It has nothing whatsoever to do with how that person feels about you.
If you are continuously having a dream about the same person it probably means that you have feelings for him :)
