Here are 15 interesting facts about dreams – enjoy!
You might find the answer to the centuries-old question on why do we dream below.

1. You Forget 90% of Your Dreams..
Within 5 minutes of waking half of your dream is forgotten.
Within 10, 90% is gone.

2. 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 visuals,
but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of
sound, smell, touch and emotion.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Not Everybody Dreams in Color
A full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and
white. The remaining number have full color dreams. 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.

6. 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.

7. Emotions
The most common emotion experienced in dreams is
anxiety . Negative emotions are more common than positive
ones.

8. You can have four to seven dreams in
one night.
On average you can dream anywhere from one or two hours
every night.

9. 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.


10. Body Paralysis
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a normal stage of sleep
characterized by rapid movements of the eyes. REM sleep in
adult humans typically occupies 20-25% of total sleep, about
90-120 minutes of a night’s sleep.

During REM sleep the body is paralyzed by a mechanism in
the brain to prevent the movements which occur in the
dream from causing the physical body to move. However, it
is possible for this mechanism to be triggered before, during,
or after normal sleep while the brain awakens.

11. Dream Incorporation
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 guitar during your sleep.


12. Men and Women Dream Differently
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.

13. Precognitive Dreams
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%.

*Precognition, also called future sight, refers to the perception that involves the acquisition of future information that cannot be deduced from presently available and usually acquired sense-based knowledge.

14. If you are snoring, then you cannot
be dreaming.
This fact is repeated all over the Internet, but I’m a bit
suspicious whether it’s really true as I haven’t found any
scientific evidence to support it.

15. You can experience an o*r*g*a*s*m in your dream
You can not only have s e x as pleasurable as in your real life
while dreaming but also experience an o r g a s m as strong
as a real one without any wet results. The sensations felt
while lucid dreaming (touch, pleasure, etc.) can be as
pleasurable and strong (or I believe even stronger) as the
sensations experienced in the real world.


Well, I hope you had a great time reading these strange facts

facts once again. Good night and sweet dreams!
