Sleep and Dream
When we sleep, we go through five sleep stages. The first stage is a very light sleep from which it is easy to wake up. The second stage moves into a slightly deeper sleep, and stages three and four represent our deepest sleep. Our brain activity throughout these stages is gradually slowing down so that by deep sleep. About 90 minutes after we go to sleep and after the fourth sleep stage, we begin REM sleep. REM sleep is primarily characterized by movements of the eyes and is the fifth stage of sleep. During REM sleep, several physiological changes also take place. The heart rate and breathing quickens, the blood …show more content…
Sometimes you are in the nightmare, you know you are dreaming, you want to wake up but you cannot move and wake up by yourself. According to Stephen Laberge, a psychophysiologist, the founder of the Lucidity Institute that people get attracted to lucid dreaming because they want to be able to do things they could never do in waking reality, for example, taste fire or fly to the sun. More and more experienced lucid dreamers are realizing the benefits of lucid dreaming. You can use it to explore the boundaries of your own agency and the limits of the universe. I really love chocolate cake. I often wish to taste some truly delicious chocolate cake at least one time in my life. One day, in my dream, I saw I step in a luxury beautiful room, and there were a table in the center of the room. On that table, there are many smoothest, richest, creamiest chocolate cakes in the world. I ran to it and took one bite; however, when the cake was nearly to my mouth, I suddenly heard the voice of my mom calling me, then I woke up and I saw no chocolate. I knew that I just had a sweet dream unless the end. In lucid dreams, we focus is expanded somewhat compared to normal dreams, but in my experience it is still very different from real life. Sometimes, in the dream, I saw my grandparents in the US, I saw my grandfather was watching news at his favorite chair while my grandmother is cooking my favorite food. My grandmother also said “Welcome home, I just made your favorite food, wash your hands and have a meal.” There was nothing happier than seeing my grandparents and hear their voice. However, in that dream, I wondered that there were strange things that in fact, my grandparents died and they had never come to the US. Then, I woke up and I knew that I see my grandparents in dream because I really miss them. Until now, I sometimes see my
