this isnt a really a heavy question im just curios.
Why do we have dreams? i heard its an unavoidable subconcious and somthing to do with a mild state of hypnotism. also you know when you have a bad dream like your falling and you hit the ground then you wake up really confused becaus you just fell in your sleep and hit your pillow in real life, well is it possible to dream somthing then sit up like in cartoons or films where the guys tossing and turning then wakes up in a cold sweat and is breathing hard then jolts into the sitting up position, is it possible to do that then instantly forget and never rememebr what it was you were dreaming about? because thats happend to me i woke up bolt upright one night sweating and heart pounding and i dont even know why. i dont remember having a dream at all you cant just get so adjetated for no reason can you?
Feelings are powerful. Haven't you ever been so afriad you felt weak? So embaressed you felt sick to your stomach? The body and the mind are very tightly connected.
If that sort of thing happens too often, you should speak to a doctor.
No one really knows why we dream. There are a lot of different theories. Some say dreams are a way to process or examine learning, maybe even to ‘clean up’ the brain. Others suggest that they are nothing but the brain trying to make sense of completely random synapses firing within our brain as we sleep, just a pointless phenomenon of sleep.
If you want to learn a bit more about what you body does while sleeping and the ways it can affect you look up ‘sleep paralysis’. Some of what you will read about it is bunk, but if you make sure you are looking at reputable sites, you’ll learn some interesting what we do know about the brain during sleep.
