Non-rapid eye movement sleep

each human being sleeps, each human being is able to see some dreams, but how many of us think why we have dreams? Why sometimes we can see something really good and peaceful or conversely sometimes we have nightmares? Dreams are not just a part of our usual sleep; dreams which we can see and remember have scientific meaning too. Firs of all, what is a dream? Dream is a sequence of our ideas, imagination, emotions and sensations in the mind which we have during different stages of sleep.…

awakenings, and even the nightmares? A dream is a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep (Dream). Dreams are a great wonder to the world that scientists still do not have a firm grasp on. The purpose of this paper is to inform the reader of what dreams are and what they mean. A person’s mind creates images and stories while we sleep and that is what a dream is. Dreams can seem very real and can…

and there was no way to tell if they were just laying down or actually in REM sleep. LaBerge has done an excellent job providing us with the ability to give signs when you reach certain stages of sleep. When you enter REM sleep your eyes will move or your fists will clench, both of which can be observed on a polygraph. LaBerge did this many times before attempting to study dreams by proving first, that he could study sleep patterns and prove his subjects were asleep. He was quoted saying “"it is…

The movie Inside Out presented Riley’s dream after she entered the REM stage while she was sleeping. It was actually inaccurate at the part where Riley entered to REM stage immediately after she fell asleep since people had to go through the non-REM stages(sleep stages 1-4) before they entered REM stage. However, Inside Out did a good job to show what was happening in Riley’s brain when she was dreaming in her REM stage. For example, there was one section in her brain called “Dream productions”,…

Dreams are vivid, strange fantasies that occur in the resting minds. Often most people are so consumed in their dreams that they cannot differentiate if the dream is real or not. People often tell themselves that there is only one reality, but there are many realities. Dreams are proof of this; people can walk, eat, run, and do anything they please in their dream. That makes dreams another reality where people can live. The reality of the world is that it can be barbarous and unpleasant. Dreams…

Now that the theoretical basics are covered, the objective of this paper can be explained and what I would like to find out with my self-experiment. The main goal is to learn how to lucid dream and find out, if it can affect performance in any way. Not only performance in daily life but also in specific areas like school, work or even a hobby. Two methods to learn lucid dreaming will be covered but both need one basic requirement, which is improve your “dream memory”. It may be possible that you…

There are five states of sleep. The first has the presences of theta waves in the brain and is called a light sleep. The second is where there are sudden spikes of high brain waves. The third starts shows the presence of delta brain waves and is also where your muscles relax. The fourth stage shows all delta brain waves and the body is in a very relaxed state. The fifth stage is REM where the brain waves are less intense and where vivid dreams occur. NREM sleep happens in the first four stages.…

Have you ever dreamt and waked up on the half of your dream for a mint or few second and then you sleep and continue your same dream. Each and every one of us spends around a third of his/her lives asleep. So we sleep for thousands and thousands of hours away from the world. However, what if you could add to your certain time to skills? What if you could extend your full conscious into your sleep. lucid dreaming means dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming. So there are three ways to start…

“Nathanial Wake Up!” Were the words that had abruptly woken me up in the middle of math class. I was having the same reoccurring dream for the tenth time this month, I saw myself in the third person being punched over and over again. The ones punching me would be doctors, politicians, teachers, anyone of any occupation would be punching me, almost as if I was a good luck charm. There was also a man tied on a surgical bed, every time I was punched his scars would heal, and his anguish slowly…

It was just a dream! We all dream at some point, while some of us may dream less frequently or become unable to remember our dreams, we all do so. I will address the scientific term for dreaming, which is REM, or Rapid Eye Movement, the fifth and final phase of sleep (“What is REM Sleep?”). We as humans experience dreams during REM sleeping for several reasons, influenced by psychological and physiological factors, in order to clear the mind, profess suppressed emotions, and to refresh the body.…
