Do all human dreams?
There is a question, do all humans dream? Basically dreams are those images and stories that our minds generate while sleeping. They can be amusing, excited, entertaining, romantic, upsetting, frightening and sometimes weird. Though some people may not remember dreaming, it is considered that every person dreams between 3 to 6 times per night. Evidence from laboratory studies shows that every person dreams. Even though a small percentage of people may not remember dreaming or state that they do not dream, it is thought that the majority of people dream between 3 to 6 times a night, and each dream lasting between 5 to 20 minutes.
When people say that they don’t dream, actually they really tell you that they don’t remember their dreams. If you wake up in the middle of a dream or almost instantly after that then remembering is easier. Laboratory studies have revealed that we experience our most vivid and dramatic dreams during a type of sleep called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. The brain is very active during REM sleep; the eye’s movements go back and forth rapidly under the lids. REM sleep occurs every 90-100 minutes, 3 to 4 times a night, and continued as the night progresses. The final REM period may consist of 45 minutes. Some even fly out of bed during sleep. RBD is generally noticed when it becomes risky to the sleeping person, their bed partner or others they clash. Sometimes, bad effects such as injury to self or bed partner continued while asleep trigger a diagnosis of RBD. This is good news that RBD can be treated successfully. Authors of the new paper, Herlin et al., state that some patients of RBD report never dreaming. According to an experiment out of 289 diagnosed RBD cases, 2.7% people reported that they had not dreamed for at least 10 years, and 1.1% of people said that they had never dreamed ever. Though, in many cases their actions while sleeping (that was recorded on video in the sleep clinic) recommended that they were dreaming.
In the course of “acting out their dreams,” people having RBD move their arms and legs in bed or speak in their sleep, and also they continue “sleepwalking” without awaking or realizing that they're dreaming. The sleeper experiences only sensations that are occurring in their dreams. And some of these dreams can be aggressive or frightening, that can cause an injury to the sleeper and his other bed partner.
Sumber says. “There is always something to learn about (yourself) in a dream”.
However, if any phases of your dreams worries or disturb you, go and talk to a proficient mental health practitioner about your concern.
