What occurs to make someone go from fully concious to unconcious (sleeping)?

the answer is that as you are tired and start to relax your breathing starts to get shallower.  the effect of this is that you are not getting enough oxygen into your bloodstream and so start to become unconscious.  from this point on, your awareness disappears as your breathing gets shallower still as you pass down through the four sleep levels.

There is no way of controlling dreams.  Dreams only occur in deep REM when you are very relxed, and they could originate from what you ate, are worried about, etc.

Someone turned me on to the fact that he was talking about breaking through into a higher state of consciousness.\n\nBreaking out of our ordinary reality into something bigger.

Read a book.  Take Valerian Root and drink Chamomile tea and warm milk ... stay away from activities that may "stimulate" the mind ... listen to music, and fortunately I have a subliminal tape that induces sleep .... listen calming music ... listen comedians, because when the "mind" is happy, it is much easier to fall asleep.

here is my best possible explanation, the brain is made up of 3 parts, concuss, sub-concuss, and super ego. between wake and sleep our concuss mind and sub-concuss mind actually link together. and in rem or deep sleep its or super ego and sub-concuss linking together, dammit Kirk i am not a doctor.

i don't know about lucid dreaming, but it takes about 90 mins (5400secs) to fall into REM sleep in a normal person.

Ah ha. I used to have this all the time. You are sleeping or falling asleep then suddenly you can't move at all, it usually happens while on your back. It is very frightening at 1st and to me have been more nightmarish but I later read a book (sorry I can't remember the tittle) the author believes they are our like out of body experiences. I found that very interesting being that in all my sleep paralysis, my dreams were super real like meaning I could see the room around me without distortions. If you learn to control the paralysis feeling and go with it without being fear you will supposedly leave your body sleeping and you can wander the other realms in your spirit body, the book claimed.

Lack of sleep can cause some extreme physiological and psychological changes, and lacking REM sleep (the stage in which dreaming occurs) can lead to such symptoms as personality changes, incresed anxiety and irritability, and impaired concentration.  This may not qualify as going crazy, but I'm sure such interruptions in a person's sleep schedule can make them feel as if they are going crazy.

Yawning or "pandiculation," is still pretty much a mystery to psychologists. (I just asked a friend in the trade.) Aside from the obvious observations of how it's related to boredom and how it gets "contagious" after a certain period of development in people, there isn't that much information on it. Sorry. (Hey, this is info from an old friend, so you might want to check newer sources.)

Thats what is called trance in meditation. But that doesnt happen when people sleep. It is a stage between sleep and awake where the body and mind are both working but independently.

No, and you're not unconscious either. There's a difference in the level of consciousness (how your brain is working) between when you're asleep, or if you've passed out and are actually unconscious. The simplest way of explaining it is that when you are asleep, you can still be easily awakened, for example, by a loud noise or being shaken. When you are unconscious, your brain is no longer processing external information - that is, it's still working, but wont respond to external stimulus.\n\nOh, and you don't dream while your unconscious - you do when you sleep.

Some people naturally do this and many people unknowingly sleep with their eyes partway open.  Most people need to close their eyes to be able to fall asleep, though.

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!!

the sub-conscious mind can be affected through dreaming, a common way to tap into you sub-conscious mind is through lucid dreaming, basically lucid dreaming allows you to consciously control your dreams, witch take place in your sub-conscious mind. Common way of taping into a lucid dreaming state is through self hypnosis, and deep relaxation meditation.in the dream state you would confront aspects of your own sub-conscious mind, and in doing so, you could change your sub-conscious mind as you see fit. Lucid dreaming is a hard state of mind to achieve for some people so it might not be right for you.

They ARE in fact "out of it"......however, the subconcsious part of the brain is still at work.  The same part of the brain that is at work when we sleep and have dreams.  When we are asleep, we are in an altered state of consciousness, but our brains are still at work.  It is believed by studies and it is said that our subconscious brain holds thoughts and feelings that we wouldn't convey to anyone else aloud, on purpose or in a complete conscious state.  I have been in the medical field for 7 years now, and am currently going to nursing school and have had experience with this situation.  Like I said, it's arguable to say that what someone says in an unconscious state is not accurate, but it's also arguable on the other side of that too.  Personally..............I believe that what we do or say on a subconscious level IS IN FACT things (emotions, feelings) that we keep "put" away.  Yes, our dreams sometimes are bizzare....but I think that they DO intertwine with conscious thoughts along with subconscious....they're just scrambled in a weird order and don't seem to relate to one another because they do seem so bizzare.  It is definitely a fact for sure that UNLESS WE ARE IN A "VEGETABLE" OR BRAIN DEAD STATE...our brain is ALWAYS at work....always.  Whether we think it to be or not.  It's a very complex organ that is hard to figure out!!!!  But yes, I believe that what someone says coming out of anesthesia has SOME form of truth to it that relates to their thoughts or feelings.  May not make a whole lot of sense, or seem mean, or whatever....and that's because it's coming from subconscious and you've never heard of it before because they've never shared that information with you.  Perplexing, isn't it??  :)     Oh yeah, if you ask them about it later, they probably won't remember it.  There are parts of our subconscious that even WE don't have access to.  Good luck.  Hope that helps without confusing you too much!!!!

Yes , it is call the state of self mediation . They teach you that stuff at meditation meetings. You can actually dream what ever u want in beginning . That leads the mind to be power full enough to reach other place that are real .

Your brain blacks you out while you sleep, and it does it chemically. It is triggered by adenosine and seratonin but the actually falling asleep is quite complex.\nAlso your mind is not dulled by sleep. During non-rem sleep brain activity is lower but during REM sleep brain activity is often greater than waking life.  Most people's bodies are temporarily paralyzed chemically to prevent the body from moving during sleep, while the senses are being excited by dreams of rem sleep.  This process occurs even if you dont remember dreaming.\n\ncheck:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep
