About Dream

 


  We do believe everybody has a dream while sleeping. It could be a beautiful dream, sad dream, or fortune dream. We spend roughly one-third of our lives sleeping and during that time, we dream. Some researchers believe they have symbolic meaning, while others believe that dreams are related to waking life. 

  Dreams are thoughts, images, or feelings that occur during sleep. Visual imagery is the most common, but dreams can involve all of the senses. Some people dream in colour while others dream in black and white, and people who are blind tend to have more dream components related to sound, taste, and smell. Dreams can happen at any time during sleep. But you have the most vivid dreams during a phase called REM or rapid eye movement sleep when your brain is most active.

  Researchers have found some differences between men and women when it comes to the content of their dreams. Men and women dream differently. It showed that men's dreams tend to have more aggressive content and physical activity, while women's dreams contain more rejection and exclusion, as well as more conversation than physical activity. 

  The most unfortunate about dreams are hard to remember. It could be harder to remember dreams because, during REM sleep, our body may shut down systems in our brain that create memories. We may remember only dream that happen before we wake when certain brain activities are turned back on. Some say it's not that our minds forget dreams but that we don't know how to access them. Dreams may be stored in our memory, waiting to be recalled. This may explain why you suddenly remember a dream later in the day.

  Why do we dream? There are many theories about why we dream, but no one knows for sure. Studies have looked into the importance of dreams to our health and well-being. They found that those who weren't allowed to dream had anxiety, depression, or more tension. Many experts say dreams exist to process emotions, incorporate memories and help solve problems in our lives. That's why if we go to bed with troubling thoughts, we may make a solution or at least feel better about the situation. 

  Dreams have fascinated humanity since the beginning of time and will probably continue to puzzle us. Science has allowed us to learn much about the human brain, but until today we may never know for sure the meanings behind our dreams. Hopefully, you are learning something new from this article. Thank you for your time and have a nice day 😀.

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart...

Bushido in Modern World

What is the essential of Bushido in the modern world?   Bushido means "way of the warrior". It is commonly defined as the moral and behavioural code of the samurai. The essentials of bushido are loyalty to one's family and one's feudal lord as known as daimyo, personal honour, and courage in the face of death.

About Telekinesis

    Have you ever dreamed to able moving objects around with your mind, like in a film? The power of telekinesis has captured the imagination of scientists, psychics, and fiction writers for centuries unproven by science.   So what is the definition of telekinesis? Telekinesis or psychokinesis refers to the alleged ability to move objects with the power of the mind or willpower, without physical interaction.   Telekinesis is from the Greek words, tele means "distant" and kinesis means "movement". If we combine together, it refers to the apparent ability to move physical objects using only the mind and without any physical interaction.   The idea of telekinesis has been in the imagination of fiction writers for ages, allowing the characters to demonstrate telekinetic abilities to move objects, restrain opponents, and levitate for dramatic effect.   However, many have claimed to have telekinetic abilities and believe that telekinesis is possible, but no one h...
