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”, where…

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.

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.…

“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.

Ever since I can remember, I have always had very vivid dreams. Most of the time my dreams do not make any sense and at other times they can be emotionally unsettling, cryptic or even exhilarating. At the young age of about five or six years old, I can remember having a dream that I was a superhero with a cape. I wasn’t doing anything heroic nor did I have on a special costume – I was merely flying around over my neighborhood and remember feeling content. A few years ago while I was pregnant…
