Dreams

I remember my mom always telling me that even though I don't remember my dream, I still have dreams. I found this hard to believe. It's been 9 years since I last remembered one of my dreams. Therefore, I thought that I just stopped dreaming. I decided to do some research on this topic and found out that everyone does indeed dream, usually done during the REM(rapid eye movement) stage.

Dreams are like a parallel world to us while sleeping. Dreams reflects your current problems and life struggles. Only 20% of your dreams involve people or places that we know. I want to one day be able to remember my dream when I wake up or be aware that I am dreaming while in my sleep. 

I found out that there's actually a term for being consciously aware that you are dreaming while in your sleep. This is called lucid dreaming. Being able to lucid dream and feel the experience of perceiving the fact that I am in a dream will be amazing. Next post will be all about lucid dreams.
