Every night when you go to sleep, you dream. Your mind goes through the stages of sleep and reaches the REM cycle. During this process, you’ll dream, even if you don’t remember it. Dreaming is something we do every day, but most people know surprisingly little about it. Isn’t it amazing that we have this fantastical world inside of our minds every night? We spend countless minutes visiting this dream-land while we’re asleep. It’s about time we learned a thing or two about it.
1.) You forget 90% of your dreams.
2.) Blind people also dream, just in different ways.
3.) Every human dreams. If you think you don’t, you probably just forget them.
4.) We only see faces we already know in our dreams.
5.) Not everybody dreams in color.
6.) Dreams are very often symbolic.
8.) You can have 4-7 dreams in one night.
9.) Animals dream, too.
10.) Your body is paralyzed during REM sleep.
11.) External stimuli can be incorporated into your dreams.
12.) Men and women dream differently and about different subjects.
13.) 63% to 98% of people believe precognitive dreams are possible.
14.) If you’re snoring, you can’t be dreaming.
15.) You can experience a legitimate orgasm while you dream.
(H/T Bored Panda) Now, when you close your eyes at night, think about all of the incredible things you’ll see in your dreams. If you’re interested in remembering what you dream and participating more in your unconscious adventures, you can practice lucid dreaming. People can teach themselves to become “awake” while they are dreaming. Good night, sleep tight… share this with others so they know what they’re getting into each night as well.
