Dreams and Sleep

Since time immemorial, the subject of sleep and dreams has intrigued man. Dreams can never be separated from sleep. Fall asleep, stay asleep and we can find out why it’s important to sleep. In the daytime, our body and brain are working tirelessly to operate our body, and as they do so they slowly degrade. You can also learn why some people take walks or eat while they sleep.

Sleep fascinates people because it may be somewhat reminiscent of death: We lie down, we close our eyes and we are dead to the world. Sleep gives us a chance to build and replace the cells and resolve our end of day homeostatic imbalances. Sleep is a non-activity that seems to steal one-third of our life. Dreams, that are usually part of sleep, can be very unsettling and can even make us question our sanity.

Dream doesn’t occur whenever we fall asleep. We only dream when we are in the REM sleep? What is REM sleep? Sleep is prompted by natural cycles of activity in the brain and consists of two basic states: rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Rapid eye movement occurs in REM, while the body is under a state of paralysis. 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. Our body tries to lessen the chances of our awakening while it is repairing itself.

Whether we’d like to admit it or not, whether we are able to remember them or not, we all dream. Dreams are the evolutionary response to develop a mechanism that prevented people from falling into a deep coma while asleep. Dreams are a window into our unconscious, and some studies indicate that he may have been onto something. Some people believe that dreams tell the future. But, when 6 billion people dream every night, there is bound to be a coincidence when there are trillions of dreams every year.

Dreaming sounds like it is the best part of sleeping. Every one dreams every day, some cannot remember what their dream is about and some can tell the details. That’s the different among individuals.
