dreams

dreams. that is a very wide subject. i find them incredibly interesting. I want to start with the cercadian rythum. the book says that if you do this that blah blah it messes it up and it can be reprogrammed. the book also says that the circadian rythum is 'turned on and off' by light and dark. IS it possible to train your rythum to switch? or say to not be stimulated by light at all? that is kind of what happened to me when i was working night shifts

and as for dreams. Everyone dreams I know this, the book states that we dream most vividly in REM which occurs at the end of the night. I agree with this but one thing i did not like about the book's definition is that they forgot to mention that the body rests first. that is why stage four happens first so the mind goes into a deep sleep and the body rests.
Dreams are very hard to interpret and i believe that they really cannot be analyzed by anyone else but the person who had the dreams

  1. i agree with the fact that it is hard for anyone but the person who actually had the dream to analyze it. I think that it is hard for someone who didn't experience it to be able to actually know what really happened in the dream. This is what makes dreams so interesting to me, because you are the only on that really knows what happened.

  2. I think you're right lauren, I think that its hard to intrepret other's dreams, you can tell when someone has a night mare that there's a conflict but thats abou as far as you can go. If you are the one having the dreams and interpreting them you know what conflicts you are dealing with and whats going on in your inner life. no one else really knows that unless you tell them everything thats going on. still they would have a hard time understanding this.
