Most of dreaming occurs in what is called the REM stage. An You go through different levels of brain waves throughout the night, and then you have a REM period. The first REM cycle lasts from 5-10 minutes long. 50-90 minutes later, you have another REM cycle lasting longer then the first. In total, on an average night, you have 120 minutes of REM time. SO, in a week you have 840 minutes. In a month, 3360 minutes and in a year, 44,720. If the average person lived say to be 100 years old, this would be 4,472,000 minutes in their lifetime. If dreams lasted 5 minutes each(this is the smaller scale) you would have about 894,400 dreams in your lifetime and on a large scale if your dreams lasted 30min. apiece, you would have 149,066 dreams. so i would guess anywhere in between 895,000 to 150,000.

Acording to my collage phyc. teacher it can be just one or an infinate number of them.  However even if you dont remember them we all dream everynight.

The mind holds onto issues that need resolved; subconscious memories. Keep a journal by your bed and write down your dreams, then, when you have a week's worth, read them all and, hopefully, there'll be a pattern and you should be able to see what it is you need to take care of. I hope this helps.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!  I wake all night long about every 45 minutes and know what I have been dreaming about.  I can easily go back into the dream by telling myself that it is not finished.  And  yes,,,,very often  I turn the dream into the result that I want.  I am  a heavy dreamer, perhaps because I am a light sleeper, or not.  All I know is that I remember every single dream, every day, and there are many of them.  And I can control them.  It is fabulous!!

Everyone dreams... even dogs dream\n\nNot everyone has the capability to recall their dreams but most that don't can learn to recall them.  Here is a cool discussion / web site on the subject.

Our dreams are a combination of many components: activities we involve ourselves with, internal fears, anxiety, people we have come to know, desires that we contain, and the brain's incredible memory capacity.  It is possible that you have either a fear of such things or a secret fascination or obsession with these things.

It depends. Sometimes my dreams have a steady theme, sometiems they start out as one thing and turn to something else.

Most of my dreams are of people I've never met and places I've never been.\nOne thought is that these people are real and they are interacting with one of my 12 (or 144 depending on who you read) soul extensions and I'm tapping into one of those soul extension's lives for the dream.\nAnother thought is that I am a writer and extremely creative so even my dreams are unique.\nMy therapist says every person in a dream is an aspect of the dreamer. So if there's a tall thin black sharp-shooting army woman in my dream, it's up to me to figure out what she represents in my personality.

the significance of your dream lies with the legs.  you are to choose between driving or walking.  one day you will have to choose.  four wheels bad and two legs good.  understand and you will live forever.

Usually dreams are influenced by pictures, movies, books, conversations, music, or others means of communication that you have been actively involved in for the past 24 hours before you slept.\n\nIt is mere coincidence that some if not all of your dreams came true.\n\nDon't dwell too much on whether your dreams will come true or not. Just focus on clean living and pray that God will bless your life no matter what dreams you have.

The primary purpose of dreams (REM sleep) in humans appears to be memory consolidation.  Humans who "lose" the ability to enter REM sleep due to certain medications or brain injury show no serious impairment of cognitive ability.\n\nMany people (particularly those in the Freudian tradition) try to attach special meaning to dreams.  The use of "dream dictionaries" to uncover the unconscious hidden meaning of dreams is a questionable therapeutic practice with little scientific justification.\n\nSome charlatans even claim that your dream images can predict the future.  As we are all free-willed beings, the future is unknowable until it becomes the present.\n\nHope this helps.

get a life...dreams are the subconscious wishing or fearing something is going to happen.

This is such a thought-provoking question. Mmmm...there have been several and I've been thinking about dreaming lately quite a bit. It seems that many of my dreams are about events that usually do take place in my life or in the lives of people I know. Since I'm 49 I've had ample time to test the theory... :) \n\nIt's a bit difficult for me to write them out in a public forum, though. Suffice it to say, they normally involve areas in my life that need to be addressed or worked on, deep things in my spirit that need resolving, etc. Once I had a dream about my cousin's family, and it was particularly strange because there was one vacant seat and placesetting. When I mentioned it to her, she reacted quite emotionally and told me that one of her five kids has recently become estranged from the family. Stuff like that. I don't want to be weird about it or anything...but sometimes I have warnings like that.\n\nMany times they are very happy and loving dreams, filled with a rich significance to me spiritually or otherwise. I do know that when I dream vividly, I always wake with an invigorated spirit and a definite physical sense of rest and peace. Dreams seems very healing, in fact.

I have dreams that are continuous and long. Kind of like my own story. But i know it is a dream and i can separate it from reality. Haven't got that confused yet.
