No, in spite of popular superstition, this is not true. There is no magical radar connecting the minds of sleeping or dreaming individual. One might as well believe that one's friends on FaceBook - or Answers.com - respond to posts because they were reading one's mind.

Why do people have trouble remembering their dreams?

Normal dreaming is to relieve every day stress or we would go mad. When we are super stressed sometimes we can have nightmares or vivid dreams we do remember for a few minutes after waking up and these nightmares occur within minutes just before awakening although it may feel the nightmare goes on and on. Many people never notice that if they dream about a terrible accident they are in or, they are falling off the side of a building or off a bridge they will NEVER hit bottom. Why, because the brain makes the person wake up (thus, the nightmare waking the person up sometimes covered in perspiration.) If the person dreamed they had hit the ground or really had been killed in the accident in a vivid nightmare they would die of heart failure. People who sometimes dream and get frustrated because it was a good dream (they sense that) is caused by not having REM sleep. This means the person is not in full sleep and the eyes are not darting side to side which is normal in REM. This could simply be caused by a change of hormones or stress. Some medications can also contribute to this factor.


How do humans go to asleep?

I believe (though I have no idea if it is proven or not) you fall asleep when you stop thinking. That's why I think it is hard to fall asleep when you have a lot on your mind (ex. day before or after any holiday) Or it could be difficult when you are sleeping somewhere that is not comfortable you are thinking about that..answer 2 When you go to sleep, most of your external senses are turned off - or at least down - sound is a notable exception; and your brain if free to process the bits of today's information that didn't make sense. Initially you go into a shallow sleep; then a deep phase, in which muscles are very relaxed; then you move into a shallow phase of sleep called REM sleep. You will usually repeat this cycle several times each night.REM [Rapid Eye Movement] sleep is marked by - you guessed it - and in this phase of sleep your brain is 'watching' lots of different activity.The eyes move rapidly though the lids are closed, and the electrical activity of the eye muscles may be easily recorded. It is in this phase that dreaming takes place, and if you wake someone immediately after REM sleep, they will be able to record their dreams. All people go through REM sleep each night - often several phases of it - but unless you wake soon after REM phase, you will probably not remember it.


Does the side you sleep on influence your dreams When I sleep on my right side my dreams seem logical and analytic. They seem more creative and imaginative when I sleep on my left.?

honestly sleeping posistion will not really impact what you will dream about it depends on what you think about before you go to bed and which side of the brain its more directed to. Sometimes people dream about their problems that their facing in daily life, or your phobia or issues that dwell on your suconscious mind. Personally I find it very interesting that dreams are like metaphors or your feelings. I dream vividly every night, and I tend to remember exact quotes, and physical attributes of objects. My bed is in the corner of my room, such that one side faces a wall, and the other is close to a window. I tend to find dreams where I am facing the window (brighter) to be less vivid, and overall happier. When I dream facing the wall, they are dark, surreal, extremely strange and just generally f'ed up. To me, that suggests the light level you are experiencing impacts the mood of your dreams. It might be because the left side of your brain is the creative side--or so I've been told--and the right side is the analytic side. I don't know if that would have any influence, having more pressure on either side, to dream more creatively or logical, but that's my guess.


How can you stop moving in your sleep?

The reason for that is probably nightmares or you are not comfortable in the position you are laying and while your sleeping your pretty much unaware of your actions and just move around a lot.If its because of nightmares ive heard thinking happy thoughts or having a better days will make your dreams more likeable. What helps me is if I go to my so called "happy place" before I go to sleep or I just think happy thoughts.


Why when im sleeping sometimes you cant move or open your eyes?

When you can not move or talk when you wake up from a dream is that you have a demon may be holding you down or sitting on top on your chest watching you sleep. When they do that and your sleeping and you can't move is because while your sleeping they are actually talking to you evil things that make you dream crazy things and when you wake up you just feel some feeling really negative and you just can't move but the best thing to do is pray before you go to sleep and when you wake up with that problem when you can't talk or move pray in your mind because they can't hear what you have in your mind but god do

When you think about a dream that you want do you get that dream?

maybe,depends if its a good dream that you like,or a bad dream that you hate.just think about it before you go to sleep,then you will be asleep,maybe having your dream. More seriously, it is possible that thinking about a certain person or subject before you go to sleep will result in your dreaming about that person or thing. However, it usually is not quite that simple. You may need to focus repeatedly on the topic you wish to dream of, or meditate on the subject, or give yourself the strong suggestion in several different ways. Even then, while you might succeed in dreaming about that person or topic, you have no way of consciously determining how that subject will appear in any dream.
