how the system of night dreaming works?

according to psychoanalytic theory, our refulated uncounscious desires and drives(usually sexual and aggressive ones)penetrate through dreams, a reason why part of the psychanalytic therapy relies on dream interpretation, trying to link the latent content to the manifest one.\nas far as my knowledge reaches, i think nowadays, knowing the fact that during the rem sleep our cerebral activity is similar to the one in the waking state, dreams are more likely to be images and situations which have troubled us during the day (or the past days) and which are somehow reintegrated into an entirely free "imaginary space" which lacks the boundaries of a syntax, as language does.

Dreaming is REM sleep cycle.  It is a process when your brain is active and body isn't.  So you basically have no control over body at that time.  Now the question here is nothing but superstition.  Most of the time the dreams are about what you think during day time and if you keep repeating with some intention.  Dreams usually are related to that.  Nightmares are different and quite prevalent in kids.  But adult dreams are more often purposeful.  Like lotto or career or love oriented.

I looked up the entomology of nightmares and dreams.  \nDreams are sleep or vision or aspirations, all good things.  Nightmares were seen as the indications of something bad, a goblin sitting on the chest of sleeping people causing distress.  So good dreams are normal and so a just called dreams; bad dreams have to be explained and so the idea of nightmares are introduced to explain a problem.

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.

it has something do do with REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. they say that EVERYONE dreams, its just that you may not remember it in the morning. Read the information from the article i've attached under sources, it may be helpful to you :)\n\nSweet Dreams!

This is a very interesting topic. It's like how you can hear yourself say something in your mind, but you don't actually hear sound. Or how you see a certain image when your eyes are open (hence, daydream). It's difficult to observe thoughts as they are happening, since the only way to actually formulate an opinion about what we are thinking is to analyze what we remember thinking. It's pretty amazing how our minds work, and what they control. We can't (more accurately, MOST of us can't) voluntarily control the rate of our heart beat, but we can voluntarily control our breathing. Yet, when we are asleep or not paying attention, our brain's nervous system takes over. It's so amazing...\n\nI can go on about this forever! : ) I actually have never heard of the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle but I'll look into it. (After a pause...) My thoughts are telling me to finish typing. ^_^

Dreams are thought to be imaginative activity of our brain.They have some connection with our day to day lives.It may be our past activities or our future plannings.Some communities think that dreams are superstitious things and they are sent by evil or god,thats not true dreams are harnessed and cultivated in our mind.its just a coincidence that dreams come true.The word dream here use refers to dreams which weget when we are in deep sleep.The kind of dream you see shows kind of person u are and what are your thoughts.\nAccording to one of my teachers dreams are of three types-\n\n1.ILMANI-u get supernatural dreams that give u some knowledge.Ilmani is an urdu word meaning knowledge.In these dreams u get to know about future.\n\n2.NAFSANI-u get dreams on the topics u have been pondering upon.Nafs is an arabic word meaning spirit.its the most common one.\n\n.SATANI-u get dreams which haunt,better known as nightmares.They are believed to be evils work.

Basically, if you're a 'Lucid Dreamer', you can control what happens in your dream, and know when you're dreaming. Lucid Dreamers also see their dreams in color. \n\nas far as I know, there's no way to 'obtain' lucid dreams, you're just born with or without them. I suggest searching it up on Wikipedia for more information. I've provided the link below.

Dreams cannot predict the future in any shape or form. I challenge anyone in this area that disagrees with me to prove it!\nDreams are together with REM sleep, a phase of brain activity which occurs towards the end of the sleep cycle. This cycle is characterized by rapid eye movements(R.E.M.) stimulation of the pons, increased respiratory and heart rate, and temporary paralysis of the body. If you are awakened during REM sleep you will be dreaming.\nOk there are many studied(scientific) theories \n\n-The activation synthesis theory\n\n-dreams are ever present excitations of the long term memory system\n\nand for last what might match what you asked in a certain form, there is a theory that estates a dream solves problems and works out your daily problems in creative ways. The theory does explain that any symbols remembered or seen in the dream are what they are, meaning there is no underlying to them.\n\nin the occult side of looking at things there is Oneiromancy   a system of dream interpretation that uses dreams to predict the future.

The truth is that you see with your brain, not with your eyes.  The eyes are simply cameras relaying meaningless information to the brain.  It is the brain which makes sense of the information.  Dreaming is thought to be a time when the things you have perceived during the day are sorted out.  Rubbish is disposed of and the good stuff is kept.  REM is when you dream.  The hippocampus comunicates with the cortex allowing consolidation of memory.

no, our brain continues to work while we sleep. You may not remember your dreams but you still have them. Dreams all have meaning and they are what helps you deal with the stress and helps figure out what to do because you cant deal with it consciencely (sp) so your subconscience does it for ya.

oth, however, agree that we dream during the REM, or rapid eye movement, phase of sleep. During this phase of sleep, our closed eyes dart rapidly about, our brain activity peaks, and our muscles suffer temporary paralysis.\n\nThe physiological theory centers upon how our body, specifically our brains, function during the REM phase of sleep. Proponents of this theory believe that we dream to exercise the synapses, or pathways, between brain cells, and that dreaming takes over where the active and awake brain leaves off. When awake, our brains constantly transmit and receive messages, which course through our billions of brain cells to their appropriate destinations, and keep our bodies in perpetual motion. Dreams replace this function.\n\nTwo underpinning physiological facts go towards supporting this theory of dreams. The first lies in the fact that the first two or so years of ones life, the most formative ones for learning, are also the ones in which the most REM sleep occurs. It follows that during this time of the greatest REM sleep, we experience the greatest number of dreams. The second physiological fact that lends credence to this theory is that our brain waves during REM sleep, as recorded by machines measuring the brain's electrical activity, are almost identical in nature to the brain waves during the hours we spend awake. This is not the case during the other phases of sleep.\n\nPsychological theorists of dreams focus upon our thoughts and emotions, and speculate that dreams deal with immediate concerns in our lives, such as unfinished business from the day, or concerns we are incapable of handling during the course of the day. Dreams can, in fact, teach us things about ourselves that we are unaware of.\n\nConnections between dreams that the human psyche have been made by many people over thousands of years. The famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle wrote in his "Parva Naturalia," over 2,200 years ago, of a connection between dreams, waking experiences, and emotional needs.\n\nOthers have delved into more complicated explanations for dreams, such as the prophetic nature of dreams written of in the Bible, which was and is a belief held by many cultures. Sigmund Freud, one of the fathers of modern psychology, believed dreams to be symbolic of any number of things buried deep within our minds and our memories.\n\nUntil someone proves or disproves one of these theories, or poses an alternate one, we are left at square one. Our knowledge as to what causes us to dream is limited to the fact that we do dream, and that dreams occur during the REM phase of sleep. Sweet dreams!

Concentrate on this: There are some things in our life that we want them to happen. For eg. one may wish to be married to a person of his choice. So what we want to happen with us is something which is always there in our sub-conscious mind. And since we have no control over the inactive part of our brain (almost 90%) we see our wishes in our dreams.\n\nOtherwise, dreams may also be te fears or fancies in our sub-conscious mind. eg. the fear of ghosts etc. \n\nIn no way they are related to our future. But yes, if you convert your dreams to reality, they better are.

you turn over at midnight i think you toss i=and turn in your sleep some times it happens to people sometimes it does not. Most likely in your case you have dreams or just toss and turn. not really a specific reason

Nobody knows for sure, but they are essential. After several days of dream deprivation a person will exhibit severe mental and emotional reactions. Much research has been done on the subject, much of it at the Stanford University Center for Human Sleep Research. You can find more info at their website.

everyone dreams whether they remember their dreams or not is another matter. dreaming is an essential brain function that allows people to function normally during the day. studies have shown that people that were prevented from dreaming did not function correctly or started to have illusions while awake.

Unfortunately, there's no easy answer there.  Simply put, a dream is where you become conscious of some activity in the brain that occurs seemingly randomly in the brain while the normal mechanisms that make your conscious reality--both actions and perceptions--are disabled (partially of completely).\n\nThe problem with finding a good scientific answer is that the dream is by definition subjective rather than objective. Science might try to localize where certain brain functions occur in the brain, and they might be able to show what parts of the brain correlate to conscious perception, but they can't -explain- consciousness per se.  Consciousness is subjective, and science is objective.
