I believe that dreams are a way for us to connect with who we really are and work through the problems in our lives.

Yes...Dreaming, form of mental activity, different from waking thought, that occurs during sleep. The nature of dream activity has been characterized by many clinical and laboratory studies. These studies show that dreams are more perceptual than conceptual: Things are seen and heard rather than thought. In terms of the senses, visual experience is present in almost all dreams; auditory experience in 40 to 50 percent; and touch, taste, smell, and pain in a relatively small percentage. A considerable amount of emotion is commonly present—usually a single, stark emotion such as fear, anger, or joy rather than the modulated emotions that occur in the waking state. Most dreams are in the form of interrupted stories, made up partly of memories, with frequent shifts of scene.

This broad characterization includes a great variety of dream experiences. Many dreams collected in sleep laboratories are rather ordinary, but most people have at least some bizarre dreams. At the start of the 20th century Sigmund Freud proposed that a mental process quite different from that used in the waking state dominates the dreaming mind. He described this “primary process” as characterized by more primitive mechanisms, by rapid shifts in energy and emotions, and by a good deal of sexual and aggressive content derived from childhood.

There's not a doubt that we dream in our sleep. In fact 5 stages of sleep exist and dreaming ( REM) (Rapid eye movement) is the most important sleep stage and has the most restorative value to your sleep. You only dream in REM stage sleep . You dream about every 90 mins (that's what the books say) Normally each dream you have will get longer and longer every 90 minutes that passes. Normally when you wake up in the AM, you are coming out of your longest dream. That's usally the only dream most are more than likely to recall.That dream could be longer than 30 mins. ( I've actually witnessed a lady being treated for her severe sleep apnea (that's when someone stops breathing in their sleep), after CPAP (Continous Possitive Airway Pressure) (a treatment of choice for sleep apnea) was applied to treat her condition that was depriving of her much needed REM sleep, with CPAP she went right into a dream and stayed in REM for 3 straight hours. ...longest one I've witnessed yet.
In REM sleep, techinquly you are paralized while you are dreaming. The only muscles in REM stage sleep that should be moving are your eyes, heart, and diapham. but you will have some phasic twitching that will occure (like you see aniamals do while they're dreaming.) Because the body becomes paralyzed while dreaming, people with loose or excessive tissue in their airway, lose that tissues muscle tone and the tissue doesn't have enough firmness to stop it from collapsing. That causes sleep apnea in many people (I've seen people stop breathing for two minutes during dream sleep).Many other health disorders are being traced back to sleep disorders ( snoring and high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, and many more at any age. I can't stress enough how vital educationing oneself and others on about sleep will help in ways you wouldn't believe.
If you know someone who has sleep problems. Tell them to get tested soon. LKW RPSGT, CRT
