Dreams

Dreams can really be sweet at times you just wish you needn't have to wake up. Some feels so REAL you wake up wondering if you're still in dreamland or in reality. Some might even freak you out having to lose your loved ones or even experiencing something tragic or traumatic you never hope you'd fall asleep ever again. Some can just be so weird you just wonder what if in reality it really happens or wonders more...if it could be a sign?

Anywayz, last nite I had the weirdest dream ever. Never in my 19 years have I ever dreamt of such a thing. The closest I came to it was something similar just that I wasn't the one in white....I wasn't the one walking down the aisle...I wasn't the one with a man waiting right in front near the altar to take my hand...(remember this one YongMay?) Yups I've dreamt of her getting married to that guy she had a crush on whom I've never met yet knowing it was him. Oh and I WASN'T INVITED!!! Hah..but it was just a dream. I know my best pal wouldn't NOT invite me to her wedding...or be her bride's maid...as long as I promise to not stay in the comfy cozy bed...right?

Well anywayz, back to my dream. Yeah...I dreamt I got married!!!! Hahaha...the thing that scares me most wasn't the thought that I was getting married...but the fact that I knew who that guy was standing there right in front at the altar waiting for me. Definitely a shocker as I never had not even the slightest crush on him. It's just freaking weird!!! The even more shocking part is that he being a non-believer and as we all know that we should not be unequally yolked...my parents are the ones supporting it???? How weird can it be?

Hahaha...come to think of it...dreams can really be playing ur mind a whole lot and sometimes it's just so silly you can stop and look back at it at times and give it a good chuckle.

Well here's some fun facts about dreams I came across on the net:

1. One third of our lives is spent sleeping.

2. In your lifetime, you would've spent about 6 years of it dreaming. That is more than 2,100 days spent in a different world.

3. Dreams have been here as long as mankind. Back in the Roman Era, striking and significant dreams were submitted to the Senate for analysis and interpretation.

4. Everybody dreams. EVERYBODY! Simply because you do not remember your dream does not mean that you did not dream.

5. Dreams are indispensable. A lack of dream activity can mean protein deficiency or a personality disorder.

6. We dream on average of one or two hours every night. And we often even have 4-7 dreams in one night.

7. Blind people do dream. Whether visual images will appear in their dream depends on whether they where blind at birth or became blind later in life. But vision is not the only sense that constitutes a dream. Sounds, tactility, and smell become hypersensitive for the blind and their dreams are based on these senses.

8. Five minutes after the end of the dream, half the content is forgotten. After ten minutes, 90% is lost.

9. The word dream stems from the Middle English word, dreme which means "joy" and "music".

10. Men tend to dream more about other men, while women dream equally about men and women.

11. Studies have shown that our brain waves are more active when we are dreaming than when we are awake.

12. Dreamers who are awakened right after REM sleep, are able to recall their dreams more vividly than those who slept through the night until morning.

13. Physiologically speaking, researchers found that during dreaming REM sleep, males experience erections and females experience increased vaginal blood flow - no matter what the content of the dream. In fact, "wet dreams" may not necessarily coincide with overtly sexual dream content.

14. People who are giving up smoking have longer and more intense dreams.

15. Toddlers do not dream about themselves. They do not appear in their own dreams until the age of 3 or 4.

16. If you are snoring, then you cannot be dreaming.

17. Nightmares are common in children, typically beginning at around age 3 and occurring up to age 7-8.

18. In a poll, 67% of Americans have experienced Deja Vu in their dreams, occurring more often in females than males.
