What exaclty is a dream?

Question

A dream during sleep not like a goal in life.

Answer 1

Your brain is resting and recharging itself, processing data like a computer so to speak. Because you see and experience so much of a day, you're picking up new data every second. That's a lot of info- you wont even remember 90% of the messages your subsconscious has picked up whilst you were awake and going about your business, so as you sleep the brain spins it around and the result are your dreams. Some dreams, such as nightmares about exams or similiar situations, are easy to interpret. But other dreams such as being chased, your teeth falling out, violence, or whatever it is you dream about, are often a jumbled up mixture of the anxieties, excitement, pleasure fear and guilt that you have experienced lately- regardless of whether you remember it or not.

Answer 2

Dreams are a method of self-therapy that the brain induces, given the right conditions. They are typically influenced by things stored in your short-term memory (in other words, newly created neuron pathways) and only occur when your length and quality of sleep is good enough. The dreamstate is obvious to the waking world by rapid eye movements.

Pleasant dreams are typically a form of catharsis, allowing us to experience things that we want to experience. Nightmares are usually induced by stress.

Interesting dream fact: the brain is so convinced that a dream is real that in order to prevent you from flailing your limbs about while sleeping (to produce the movements that you make in the dream) your subconscious brain shuts off all voluntary muscle control. This is known as sleep paralysis.

Answer 3

The waking mind percieves life in a linear way (time) where our dreams have no concept of time. So you can be in one place in this moment and on the other side of the planet in the next.
Most dreams are about the last 24 to 48 hours of consciousness.

Answer 4

Dreaming is the subjective experience of imaginary images, sounds/voices, words, thoughts or sensations during sleep, usually involuntarily. The scientific discipline of dream research is oneirology. Dreaming is associated with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, a lighter form of sleep that occurs during the later portion of the sleep cycle, characterized by rapid horizontal eye movements, stimulation of the pons, increased respiratory and heart rate, and temporary paralysis of the body. The events of dreams are often impossible, or unlikely to occur, in physical reality: they are also outside the control of the dreamer. The exception to this is known as lucid dreaming, in which dreamers realize that they are dreaming, and are sometimes capable of changing their dream environment and controlling various aspects of the dream. The dream environment is often much more realistic in a lucid dream, and the senses heightened. There is no universally agreed-upon biological definition of dreaming.
