very simple. Your brain stopping you from acting out your dreams.

thats scientific.
let me tell you more about me. For example, if my right eye twitches that day I will meet an old friend or I receive money from someone for free.
But science tells its contradiction. I tried to use medicine to cure it but it comes continuously whenever it wants to.

At REM stage most times I usually know myself sometimes I see people who are coming to hold me down. Since the day I drove them away, I have been meeting people favor me financially and other way compared to before when I allow myself to get hold down.

I don't know it just my opinion and intuition why all have different stories to tell. The world is a mysterious place

Mrvirgin:
I also need scientists to explain these things that happen while sleeping:
1. Why do some people drool(spitting from d mouth) while others don't?
2. Why do some open their mouth while others don't.
3. Why do some close their eyes partially while others close entirely.
4. Why do some talk while sleeping?
Atlantia:

I would really like to know the answers to 3 and 4. I'm guilty of both...so I've been told.
sharliz:
snore nko
1. Parasympathetic effect. Apparently, while one falls asleep the parasympathetic effect kicks in causing increased salivation and other related effects like erection.
2. It all depends on the tone of the muscles that hold the jaw during sleep as well as gravity. Pointing also the parasympathetic effect, there's usually constriction of bronchioles and increased secretion of the airways. This forces most people to unconsciously seek another means to breathe (usually by the opening the mouth). And if the mouth is open it's only normal that one should drool. Snoring happens because these secretions obstruct the flow of air. (try breathing through your mouth while awake you won't make this sound)
3. I can't really explain this one. But I'll still say it's another parasympathetic effect. Normally, the muscle of the eyelids (levator palpebrae) is innervated by the sympathetic nervous system. Loss of this innervation (in this case, because the parasympathetic system becomes the boss during sleep) causes ptosis (drooping of the eyelid) i.e the eyelids close. It still beats my imagination why most people eyes remain open while asleep.
4. I can't say much on this one. It still relates to the REM & non-REM stages of sleep.

It is the thoughts in our brains that we always dreaming of when asleep. Try reset your thinking faculties when on the bed.

I want to know why all the images have people with their mouths wide open, na so everybody dey sleep?
No. Not all of them. I think sleeping in a proper, comfortable posture would prevent mouth opening.

I often experience it whenever I pray fervently. I used to think it was a witchcraft attack but recently, I heard on one of the radio programs that the cause of it is that the whole of our body doesn't wake up at once. When u experience it, what it means is that ur brain has woken up while the rest of ur body is still asleep and u will find it difficult to move ur body at that moment.


Right on point.. That moment is quite frightening sha.
