  2. The average person spends about 6 years of there life dreaming.

  3. We've all been there -- dead asleep, caught up in the middle of a cinematic dream that feels so real you think you've actually experienced it, even after waking. Maybe it was a nightmare that left you in a cold sweat, heart pounding. Or if you're lucky, it's a liaison with your favorite movie star.

  4. Why do we dream? • What is a dream? • Where do dreams come from? • How much of dreaming is physiological and how much is psychological? • Is dreaming a mystical experience? • Are we being dreamed?

  5. What is a Dream? • A dream can include any of the images, thoughts and emotions that are experienced during sleep. Dreams can be extraordinarily vivid or very vague; filled with joyful emotions or frightening imagery; focused and understandable or unclear and confusing.

  6. Why do we dream? • Considering the enormous amount of time we spend in a dreaming state, the fact that researchers do not yet understand the purpose of dreams may seem baffling. However, it is important to consider that science is still unraveling the exact purpose and function of sleep itself.

  7. Where do dreams come from? • Latent content: according to Freud, a dream's hidden meaning, which expresses unconscious wishes and desires. • Manifest content: according to Freud, a dream's scenario (what happened in the dream). • Activation-Synthesis theory: a theory stating that dreams are merely a by-product of brain activity during sleep. • Information-Processing theory: a theory stating that dreams are the brain's way of organizing information taken in during waking hours. This includes removing memories that the brain considers unnecessary.

  8. How much of dreaming is physiological and how much is psychological? • The psychology of dreams has been explained either with the psychoanalytic interpretation of dreams or with the psycho-physiological process of dreaming. • This is the activation-synthesis theory and the information-processing theory.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/3206105

  9. Is dreaming a mystical experience? • Dreams are tools of transformation. Moreover, at a certain level of inner work, dreams stop being dreams and instead become spiritual levels of consciousness. But, in the meantime, dreams open invisible doors to subtler levels of spiritual growth, awakening in seekers of truth and wisdom, our permanent witness or soul within our conscious selves.

  10. What does it mean when you dream about the same person over and over again? • Dreaming about the same person over and over again could just mean that you are thinking about that person a lot in real life. It is thus natural that they also appear in your dream life. Your dream is telling you that it is time to let this person know how you feel, especially if you are dreaming of him or her in a good way. Only good things can happen from you telling him or her. Even if he or she is not interested, at least you can move on from the crush.

  11. Sleeping Disorder • Insomnia: a sleep disorder in which one is partially or fully unable to maintain sleep. It may be caused by stress or underlying health issues. • Sleep Apnea: a sleep disorder in which a person stops breathing during sleep and then wakes up gasping for air. • Narcolepsy: a sleep disorder characterized by overwhelming attacks of sleepiness during the day.

  12. Odd Facts • You forget 90% of your dream. • Blind people also dream. • In our dreams, we only see faces that we know. • Not everybody dreams in color. • Dreams are symbolic. • Emotions • You can have 4-7 dreams a night. • Animals dream too. • If you are snoring you cannot be dreaming.
