RE: Simple Question #1 - Why do we Dream? What is its purpose?

in #science7 years ago

I am very much interested in this article. I've been very curious about dreams and it's interpretation. :) I'm most familiar with Freud's theory, but learning these other theories is incredible.

I've personally tried lucid dreaming, but I couldn't control it... I know I'm in a dream, but there wasn't much I could do.

Sleep paralysis is scary... I couldn't move at all, I thought I wouldn't be able to wake up..

Astral projection really piques my interest. I have read really old books about it in the city library and there were some claims that people from the past were able to successfully do it. And ohh, I liked the horror film "Insidious" because of this.

Lastly, what do you think about inception? a dream within a dream... it's interesting for me, too.

Ohh.. sorry for the lengthy comment... I really appreciate your post, so I'm resteeming it. :)

I'm happy that you liked the article. :)

Well, once I experienced inception. It was an unforgettable dream. Something horrifying happened in my dream, I woke up panting. Then I calmed myself down by telling that, I"t was just a dream".

Then got ready and did my household works. Then got out for office...the road was clear...I started crossing...suddenly a high-speed lorry appeared which struck me. I got unconscious and I woke up. My heart was beating hard. I was on bed. It was just a dream.

Whoah! You must have been glad to know it was just a dream... Did it feel real when you woke up the first time and did the usual things?

Yeah, it was just real. I could not even doubt about that as I had already seen a horrifying dream.

That was my first experience of inception. I was just amazed.

Thanks a lot for sharing it with me. :)
Dreaming is really interesting, but these phenomenon makes it even more interesting!

I'm looking forward to the next q&a from you, @nitesh9.. See you around!
