Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing

the third stage of NREM sleep, the sleeper will probably feel perplexed for a few minutes. REM sleep then occurs, the final stage of the sleep cycle. Eyes start to rapidly move in all directions and dreams transpire. The heart and respiration rates increase while rhythms become inconsistent. Although a majority of the muscles do not perform any movement, brain…

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…

This topic of non-dreamers was chosen because people do dream. Dreams are important because dreams prove REM sleep was entered. REM sleep is the type of sleep which rapid eye movement occurs. Muscle activity can also be occurring. The online source took the textbook one step further because more research was studied. Discovering Psychology written by Hockenbury, et al was edited and published in 2016 where as Evidence That Non-dreamers Dream: A REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Model written by…

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.…

o you want to dream about what you want and control your dream? 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…

“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…

senses slam you awake. Whew! 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…

Dreaming occurs 3-6 times every night and each dream lasts about 5-20 minutes. When dreamers are asleep they follow a ninety minute cycle, there are 5 stages of this cycle, two stages of light sleep, two stages of deep sleep, and one stage of rapid eye movement or REM. (Young 1) While dreaming your brain goes through recent memories and sorts them out, dreaming is not a necessity to your brain sorting through memories but it does help your brain (Young 1). This means that your brain is…

Yes Antonia would agree with this definition. if one is dissolved into something particular in their style , one may see that his/her abilities comes to them more natural than sleep . otherwise by saying that , just like playing basketball one may not have to work as hard as the other in one particular drill. or another may shoot better than the other , it comes natural to them just as sleep will come to a working man that kills hisself to put food on the table . Perhaps we feel like that when…

For years, scientists and researchers have studied ways to understand and describe dreams. They have tested many theories and hypotheses to answer the many questions that surround dreams. Strauch and Meier describe dreams as “…a world of experiences, where, seemingly separated from our waking lives, we lead a second existence” (1). That being said, how is the brain able to remember these other lives lived in a dream-like state? The brain is a complex set of nerves, so many factors play a part in…
