Found it rather interesting what I just read about dreams. I have studied dreams, the meaning of dreams, and why we have dreams but I still found this article worth while because of the new studies that have gone into people and dreams.
It caught my interest immediately because it scared the be-jesus out of me. I did not know that violent/vivid dreams could be a sign of later health problems like parkinsons and dementia. I mean it makes sense. Your brain cannot truly rest when you are thrashing about in your sleep, so eventually it would begin to suffer from some form of brain damage.
Which leads to the second fact in the article, that night owls have more nightmares. Well, of course. Just like I just stated, if you deprive your brain of enough sleep it will begin suffer. Some people have actually died having night terrors and extreme cases of insomnia.
It continues, with two very obvious facts. Men most often dream about sex right before they wake up in the morning, which is exactly the opposite of women who normally have more nightmares and wake up in slight terror. So, they do not match up. Men wake up wanting some and women wake up in fear and more than likely just want a cuddle to calm their fears. Alas, we are all fucked.
Then, it states that gamers are more likely to have lucid dreams (dreams they can control) because they are use to controlling their alternate realities anyway. Gaming is like a training for lucid dreams. So, for post war veterans that suffer from PTSD could use that as a way to alter their horrible nightmares into carefree, calming dreams. So, to all you wonderful and awesome veterans out there that are suffering from PTSD, start gaming. It could calm you. I would have to agree with that statement too. Our ex-roommate was suffering from really bad PTSD and what seemed to calm him the best was playing video games and with in a few months began to become more social and eventually was just as he was before the PTSD set in. Even found himself a wife, which before that he was totally against marriage.
I always dream. When I was pregnant my dreams were horrible at times and others they were so vividly beautiful I woke up crying in joy. It was crazy. Sometimes my dreams come true. Im not saying I have esp or anything. But think about it, there are so many secrets of the mind, who is to say that we dont tap into those secrets in sleep.
On a different note, my Saturday was pretty good. I was working in the salon all morning, got my truck worked on during my lunch, and then had a very awesome after noon back in the salon.
It was exhausting though. Its weird to look at a clock and see that its nine p.m. and think, "Its bed time." I cant even go out with friends because I get exhausted before the clubs even get going! I am only 22!! In alot of ways that really sucks but in many more it proves that I am at least doing something in my life and am doing enough to exhaust me. Part of the reason I use to be so insomniatic was because I didnt exhaust myself, I didnt wear out my energy, or test myself. I went from being this really physical Olympic Weightlifter to a shell of a person and I never did anything, besides maybe have sex. Which, wasnt that great of a choice. Lady's when you find you s.e.x dont go crazy with it. I didnt but I did. I didnt have a whole bunch of partners but I let it control my life for a while. I use to have sex like five or six times a day. It was great and it was horrible.
Well, that got off subject a bit.
