My brain after good dream:forgets My brain after bad dream: a core memory
i've lost my close friend in an earthquake and had several dreams throughout this past two years. And everytime she appeared looking at me with a smile and hugged me , felt so real and magical that made my heart happy .i think dreams really help you keep going in life ,accept and survive.
When I was in high school there was this geometry problem that I couldn't solve. I dreamed about the solution and answer and after waking up, I did it exactly as I saw it and got it correct!
I once dreamt I had a group of friends that I hung out with over several nights. Once I stopped the dreams, I missed them like crazy for a few weeks and still do a little bit 20 years later. Crazy.
As someone who’s very in touch with their dreams, lucid dreaming, remembering them etc, I think at least for myself that dreams allow your brain to practice learned things (foreign languages, driving, a task at work for example) and also sometimes it can have an inherit meaning that only you can understand, maybe it resurfaces feelings you’ve pushed down, and I think it’s a healthy and important practice, a window to your mind and soul.
Much respect to the cameraman for entering your dream to record this video, truly a dedicated member of the team.
Among other things, I'm amazed at how complex dreams can be. Sometimes the storytelling in my dreams are especially convincing, lifelike and coherent, when I can't even write a simple story sober.
In lucid dreams you become aware of time. In normal dreams, you have no awareness of time. Whenever I experience a lucid dream, I become aware that I’m about to wake up and have a limited amount of time left in the dream state.
When I was taking antidepressants, I would have really interesting dreams. Every night after falling asleep, it was like entering a parallel life, a life that was as chronological and continuous as my real life, only it happened in my dreams. I was a student, I had family, I knew where my dorm room was and the way to the shopping centre, I knew which place had the best pizza and when to catch public transport. But none of it was real. It was all just a massive, immersive, continuous dream, and I lost that world - and that life - once I came off the antidepressants.
I had a really similar experience to the tetris experiment. I played some games of tetris with my friends and when I was a sleep I was constantly picturing playing a game of tetris, I swear I could even picture the exact pieces fitting together and the lines clearing.
I have insomnia and have always had problems with sleeping, and as a result I can remember about 2-3 dreams every single night very vividly. It’s gotten to a point where I am constantly confusing dreams with real life and spend more of my life asleep then awake. It’s so strange because the emotions, feelings and situations just feel so real.
Once, our VCR was having tracking issues, but it had no manual controls listed on the device or remote. That night i dreamt of fixing it using the channel up and down buttons, and sure enough, when I woke up and tried them they worked. While playing a tape the channel buttons doubled as tracking control. Not solving a world mystery, but still gave me some interesting insight into how my brain works.
The environments in my dreams are often incredible. Both architecture and nature are really detailed and the lighting and atmosphere are breathtaking. It's really interesting and kind of frustrating because I am an artist and when I'm awake, I really struggle with painting good environments. I'm much better at drawing people than places, but in my dreams it's the other way around.
Ok i gotta admit this................this person.........is the best for learning something without getting bored and all
Never had nightmares until I hit my 20s. Sometimes I’d wake up, not remembering what it was but close to tears (once, I did cry) and extreme levels of discomfort, like I wasn’t safe. It would sometimes drive me crazy not being able to remember because I’m curious as to what could’ve been so terrifying that I’m crying. I’d have an inkling of what happened as I awaken but it slips out of my grasp the more aware I get.
When I was taking my final exam of my degree course, I'd done a huge amount of revision. However, during the night before, I had a dream about the paper, and I saw the topic of the first question, one I'd not revised. On the hour bus ride to the exam I read everything that I had on the topic. I opened the paper...yes, you've guessed, the topic was...the first question! Had it not been for the dream, I'd not have covered the topic, rather an obscure one. In fact, I was the only one who had studied it, and I got my best marks on that question. Why did I dream that I wonder? Glad I did though.
My dreams are always the same. Very vivid, full of people I don’t know and I’m always trying to find something in a place I don’t know. I’ve given up trying to rationalize them out when I wake up. They don’t help me with anything. They just are.
I often dream of people that I don't recognise, and wonder if my brain is really good at creating very realistic people or if they are someone I saw somewhere but didn't consciously register. I also dream of amazing architecture that also doesn't exist anywhere, these dreams leave me wishing that I was able to capture a detailed "screen shot" as after I wake up the details slowly fade and I can't draw well enough to do them justice.
When my great grandmother passed, I had a dream about her and I literally woke up with tears in my eyes. That kind of freaked me out but it felt so real and just hearing her voice felt so real. I’ve never experienced something like that before. I’ve had plenty of dreams but nothing like that. Great video btw EDIT: Thank for all the comments. I really wasn't expecting much attention from it, but it feels really reassuring knowing I'm not alone in this experience. Also, to anyone who has lost someone or even a pet, I sincerely hope you are feeling better.
