Good afternoon Phoenix – it’s Tuesday, and time for Trivia!
Today’s post will be on a subject that is quite familiar to
Claire. Dreams – as we all know she is a dreamwalker.
Did you know:
• We forget 90% of our dreams.
• Blind people also dream. People who became blind after
birth can see images in their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any
images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound,
smell, touch and emotion.
• Everybody dreams. Every human being dreams (except in
cases of extreme psychological disorder). If you think you are not dreaming –
you just forget your dreams.
• In our dreams we only see faces that we already know. Our
mind is not inventing faces – in our dreams we see real faces of real people
that we have seen during our life but may not know or remember. We have all
seen hundreds of thousands of faces throughout our lives, so we have an endless
supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams.
• Not everybody dreams in color. A full 12% of sighted
people dream exclusively in black and white. The remaining number dream in full
color. Studies from 1915 through to the 1950s maintained that the majority of
dreams were in black and white, but these results began to change in the 1960s.
Today only 4.4% of the dreams of under-25 year-olds are in black and white.
Recent research has suggested that those changing results may be linked to the
switch from black-and-white film and TV to color media.
• Dreams are symbolic. If you dream about some particular
subject it is not often that the dream is about that. Dreams speak in a deeply
symbolic language. Whatever symbol your dream picks on it is most unlikely to
be a symbol for itself.
• The most common emotion experienced in dreams is anxiety.
Negative emotions are more common than positive ones.
• You can have four to seven dreams in one night. On average
you can dream anywhere from one or two hours every night.
• Animals dream too. Studies have been done on many
different animals, and they all show the same brain waves during dreaming sleep
as humans. Watch a dog sleeping sometime. The paws move like they are running
and they make yipping sounds as if they are chasing something in a dream.
• Our mind interprets the external stimuli that our senses
are bombarded with when we are asleep and make them a part of our dreams. This
means that sometimes in our dreams we hear a sound from reality and incorporate
it in a way. For example you may be dreaming that you are in a concert while
your brother is playing a guitar during your sleep.
• Men tend to dream more about other men. Around 70% of the
characters in a man’s dream are other men. On the other hand, a woman’s dream
contains almost an equal number of men and women. Aside from that, men
generally have more aggressive emotions in their dreams than the female lot.
• Results of several surveys across large population sets
indicate that between 18% and 38% of people have experienced at least one
precognitive dream and 70% have experienced déjà vu. The percentage of persons
that believe precognitive dreaming is possible is even higher – ranging from
63% to 98%.
• You can not only have sex as pleasurable as in your real
life while dreaming, but also experience an orgasm as strong as a real one
without any wet results. The sensations felt while lucid dreaming (touch,
pleasure and etc.) can be as pleasurable and strong as the sensations
experienced in the real world.
Have a fangtastic day!
