What's up with dreaming?

I can sometimes do that.  If I'm dreaming and know I'm dreaming, I'll lower my inhibitions a bit and just let myself go because I know it's "not real".  (i.e., if it's a "happy" dream and I want to go through with it because I know there won't be any consequences because it's "just a dream")\nAnd I have woken up from a dream and wanted to go back to resume my dream.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  If I am not "fully awake" and I focus on the dream and where I was, I can resume it.  If I wake up fully and try to go back to sleep to resume it, it doesn't usually work...\n\nInteresting question...

Dreaming is your mind at work. somtimes it is done in color other times in black and white. what and how you dream is dependent on a lot of factors that involve your daley life. most dreams are an abstract of the imput of your mind

I do.  I dreamed that I got into a car accident and a few months later it happened just as I had dreamed it.  it was really weird. almost like a deja vu type thing.  But I think our dreams are there to show us things, teach us things.  Its our subconscious at work while we sleep.  Even if you think its just too odd to be real sometimes there is a theme or a message that your subconscious is trying to tell you.

I believe most dreams are out-of-body experience to the future or to the past.  I also believe that this dream is a message to you.  Although, you may not understand it consciously, your sub-conscious has surely taken the message.  Your sub-conscious will lead you to the right way.  Only then will you understand the true meaning of the dream.  It looks like a forthcoming serious problem with papers and documents to me.  However, you will rise from the difficulty.

I just learned this... When people have worries or anticipations their unconcious mind comes alive during their sleep. Every dream has a meaning. If it's a nightmare, evaluate the dream there may be something in the dream that you need to recognize. Dreams are always telling you something!

Yes, when my mind ponders & ruminates quizzical, puzzling, enigmatic thoughts, sometimes my dreams will roll it over & over until there's an answer. Occasionally I am fortunate enough to awaken to understand the encoded answer.  I had the answer all along, I just couldn't "see" it in waking life with various distractions.

You need to forget your dreams, and to take them blue pills, but if you are on to something, then I'll say yes they are visiting us and whisper things to come in our ears when we sleep. There is belief in a rotation of the universe, as well as the planet and celestrial bodies in motion. A better question, is  where are we going?

a dream is just a thought process. \nWe dont have to be asllep to dream. We even dream sometimes when we are awake...Our Brain goes on a thought spree..\nand makes us believe what ever it thinks. Thats why dreams feel so real sometimes...

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.

That's actually an interesting question.\n\nOneriology, the scientific study of dreams, has revealed much about these mysterious experiences full of imagery.\n\nOne theory of dreams (the activation synthesis theory) states that dreams are the brain's attempt to interpret random impulses from the brain region known as the pons (which produces REM sleep). "Memory, attention and the other features lacking in a dream state depend on the lack of norepinephrine and serotonin, producing a psychotic state, as well as a lack of orientation to time, place and person."\n\nIf we could accurately measure these random impulses and the brain's reaction to them, we might be able to construct a probablistic (or, though unlikely, a deterministic) model of dreaming. This may vary greatly among individuals, though. If we could do that, along with being able convert the imagery into a visual format (definitely not trivial), we might be able to record our dreams.

DREAMS\n\nAll of us have experienced "dreams". Sometimes they are good other times they are bad (nightmares), while in still others they are just confusing. I have seen many dreams, and actually do not remember most of them. They seem very real, yet you just forget it really quickly. So exactly what are dreams?\n\nWe typically spend 2 hours a night dreaming and in 85 to 90% of REM awakenings a dream is reported (5). The REM stage has always been considered the most intriguing, not only because of its unique features in relation to the other stages, but because of its strong correlation to dreams. It has been experimented that most people who claim to see dreams are awakened from REM (2). REM sleep begins with the pons sending signals to the thalamus, which then goes on to the cerebral cortex. Signals from the pons that shut down neurons in the spinal chord is seen as the source of the limb muscle paralysis. REM's relation with the cerebral cortex is seen as the source of dreams. Some scientists say that dreams are the cortex's attempt to find meaning in the random signals it receives during REM sleep (1). \n\nAlthough it is not fully proven, it is possible to see why the pons sends signals to shut down the limb muscles. In recent years it has been discovered that the paralysis prevents us from harming ourselves by acting out our dreams. There are people with a REM sleep behavioral disorder who act out their dreams and risk hurting themselves and others (6). The opposite of this form of REM sleep behavioral disorder is kanashibari (sleep paralysis) when we our conscious but are unable to move our bodies (2).

Well, most people dream of or about something they are thinking about, worried about....ect. but there was some sort of a dream machine that you typed what you want to dream of, then it would omit smells and a sound or two which would make you dream of that! i read about it in a magazine.

Sometimes, dreams and nightmares, as I've read in a fairly recent Reader's Digest, is our mind's way of preparing for something. We run the situation in our head, and we try and see what to make of it. For instance, if you've been thinking of that job promotion, you might have a good dream if you're totally up to it, and you'll be rolling in the dough at home, and so on. If you're not too confident, then you might get a nightmare about all of the things that go wrong. In a sense, we use those thoughts that invade our minds as we sleep as a form of preparation. A dream is a desire that we want, a nightmare is the worst case scenario. In either case, we can learn from them - learn what we want, learn what we fear, and learn how to make what we want happen.

Studies of the visual cortex during dreaming indicate that it is active in nearly exactly the same way as when we see something awake.  So, our dreams are "seen" in the same way we see everything else-smooth and continuous.  The reason it may seem "jerky" is twofold.  1) in a dream we can often jump from one dream directly into another and 2) we dont remember our dreams well-they arent stored smoothly like our waking lives are, and in fact some people cannot remember their dreams at all, so we probably only remember still images of the most exciting or traumatic thing in the dream.

dreams are the subconscious trying to talk to you. i think you're thinking about them in some way.

There are webs sites about dream interpretations and lots of books from the book store or library.  Sometimes dreams have personal symbolic meanings.  You should observe the moods you are in during the dream and the colours and events. Record your dream on paper as soon as you remember them then look them up in books or web. sweet dreams :-)
