n boost Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hence the expression to 'sleep on it', the whole point of sleep is to order your days data in a better way and learn from it. Makes sense and works for me! I travel alot in my dreams to far and mystical places and seem to end up in difficult situations most of the time. Some of my dreams stay with me for a long time and some forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygood Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 True story: I used to get a lot of 'lucid dreams', where you're 'awake', but in a dream. When I was living in Dublin, I used to 'wake up' and sit up in the bed most nights, to find people in the room with me! There was this 'regular' old guy who used to sit on the end of the bed and chat to me, telling me he was jewish and used to live close by, blah, blah, blah. I always put it all down to an overactive imagination, but after a few years, I discovered that there was an old jewish graveyard about 200 yards from the block I was living in!!! Freaked the utter sh!t out of me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benkei Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Lying in bed for 8 odd hours everynight would be boring... So dreams are entertainment while you sleep Just think of it as your own movie, where's you're the director, and the main character. It's an improvisation movie too Do you find that you just 'go with' whatever happens, then when you wake up you think, WTF?! When you think about what happened, there's no way you'd accept that as real (like talking dogs, or flying or whatever), but when you're actually in the dream, you don't question it?

Kranz Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 To see the dead in your dream, forewarns that you are being influenced by negative people and are hanging around the wrong crowd. You may suffer material loss. This dream may also be a way for you to resolve your feelings with those who have passed on. To dream that you are with a prostitute, suggests that you are feeling sexually deprived/needy. Alternatively, you may be feeling that sexual relationships were more simple and straightforward. To dream that you are in a fun-filled nightclub, represents the social aspects of your life and your sense of belonging. The dream could be a commentary on your lifestyle. Perhaps you need to settle down a little. To dream that you are in a depressing nightclub, signifies an a financial crisis or and end to a love affair. To dream that you escape from jail or some place of confinement, signifies your need to escape from a restrictive situation or attitude. Alternatively, it suggests that you are refusing to face your problems. You are avoiding the situation, instead of confronting them. So, to sum up...... You're hanging around with the wrong crowd and not getting any action. You need to settle down and bin the Mrs (as she isn't giving you any anyway!!!)..... you need to escape her controlling clutches. Best bin her now eh?

Tannhauser Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 If you're open to that, then you have to be open to all kinda of supernature stuff. Dont worry your experience in the dream is random and mixed and indicates nothing other than normal event experiences in dream sleep. no thread no deep meaning just normal usually occurs about 3 seconds before you wake Rich There was a good thread on this a couple of years back, but it seems to have disappeared. Asking what a dream means could be interpreted in two ways: (a) what psychological significance it has for the person dreaming e.g. if it reflects hidden desires etc (b) some sort of 'psychic' meaning e.g. if the dream is signalling if a particular event will happen. (b) is really a magical or religious belief system. Beliefs that dreams predict the future is best explained by 'confirmation bias', a kind of error in logical thought that humans are really prone to. (a) is an interesting question. Are dreams just random stuff? The first major dream theorist was Freud, and for him dreams were a kind of safety valve. We express desires and fears in symbolic form, so we don't have to deal with them in waking life. In the 1960s, the biologists got in on the act and tried to explain dreams as either a way of deleting unwanted information (reverse learning) or the brain trying to interpret its own random electrical activity (activation synthesis). Neither type of theory is very satisfactory. Freud's theory is 'unfalsifiable' and seen as unscientific. But the 'random activities' are problematic, too. Dreams aren't random - Domhoff's work shows consistent repeating themes and patterns that vary between genders, cultures and individuals. Also, they occur outside of REM - which is when the biologists say that the brain is generating this random electrical stuff. It's likely that dreams do relate to an individual's life in more than one way. Dreams seem to be related to learning and problem solving (especially emotional problems). But trying to interpret one wacky dream can only, in my opinion, an entertaining game. There doesn't seem to be way of telling the difference between someone who is 'good at analysing dreams' and someone who has an active imagination.

Tannhauser Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Also: With reference to the comment that dreams occur in the last three seconds before waking, that's a bit misleading. Dreams occur throughout a night's sleep, 80% of them in REM sleep, the rest in NREM sleep. They don't flash by in a few seconds - as far as it is possible to measure 'dream time', they seem to occur in real time. It's true that you're more likely to remember dreams closer to waking, but it doesn't always work like that. I can't remember what the total time spent in REM sleep is, but there's a block of REM sleep in each 90 minute sleep cycle, with the proportion increasing towards morning. It varies with age, declining throughout life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 andy good, that's very interesting. Reminds me of a ghost story. Aparenty there are degrees you can get in paranormal subjects. Makes a change from media studies I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me why I rarely remember any dreams, I will remember 1 or 2 dream per year, I sleep like a baby, day or night haha and I regularly eat just before bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first part actually makes sense a little and is relevant to me for sure... The part about the misses though, well to clarify I wasn't actually intent on going into see the hooker for the intention of getting my end away, I just felt like I had to go in for some reason... I'm getting married in 2 weeks and the part about not getting any is pretty far from the reality so that's not all the relevant... I'm sure that's not going to change when we get married either as been with her for 10 years Wow, heather is a real looker... Don't watch much TV but I assume she's off some soap or drama or something...? Cheers for the replies peeps, quite an amusing thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannhauser Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi Tannhauser, judging by your posts on this subject and also the subject of weight loss during the night, you seem like a very intelligent guy who does a lot of reading and learning. Can you tell me why I rarely remember any dreams, I will remember 1 or 2 dream per year, I sleep like a baby, day or night haha and I regularly eat just before bed I don't know what the research says about why some people remember so few dreams. What is known is that (a) most people that are awoken during a dream can recall it and (b) dreams towards the morning are recalled better than those earlier. A lot of forgetting takes place in waking life because of displacement (short term memory) or retroactive interference (long term memory). When a memory trace is first laid down, it is very vulnerable to disruption by new material. For example, the experience of arriving in the kitchen, with no clue what you intended to do in there, is displacement: on the way to the kitchen, some distracting thought or event occurred, and the memory of your intention is lost. Applying this to dreams, it could be that in the morning, you are so preoccupied with thoughts of the day ahead that these quickly displace the memories of the dreams and these are lost. Motivation and habit come into it, too: if you've never been able to recall your dreams very well, you might not pay attention to any fleeting scraps of memory for them that you do have - so then you get into the habit of discarding them entirely. It could also be that memories of earlier dreams interfere strongly with later dreams (proactive interference) in your case, though I don't know why that should be. Many claim that remembering your dreams is a skill, which can be improved through practice and exercise. I don't know what those exercises would be, but I'm guessing that number one would be to write anything down that you recall, the second that you wake up. Short answer: I don't know, but the above is my guesswork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
