When do you dream?

Well sweetie. I dream when i sleep, when i'm all alone and sometimes i sit and daydream.

isn't rem supposed to be the part of the sleep cycle when we dream. i mostly remember dreams that happen just before i wake up. i have no idea how many dreams i might have the rest of the time. funny though, sometimes i wake up in the very early morning, and then have a bit of trouble getting back to sleep, and then i sort of wake up again without realising i have been asleep, and start complaining i didn't sleep properly, and then i remember i had a dream, and so i must have gone back to sleep. i think the fact that dreams often occur before we wake up, which is the period when we have most rem, would suggest that this is the period when we dream. though whether there is a causal link there i don't know, as it seems to be waking up after a dream that means we remember it, but how much we dream during the rest of the night i have no idea. sometimes, urban, we do have to let scientists have their way on something. there are enough things they got wrong for us to argue over, to need to disagree when they could be right.

I do not think that dreams occur when we are in a deep sleep. I think that they occur most when we are in a light sleep. The deep rem sleep is the resting sleep and I think that is not the sleep that produces the normal dreams that most folks have. It may be the time that folks experience deep seated nightmares that are the most difficult to awaken from however. This type of nightmare I am speaking of comes from such things as long term child abuse etc.

My dear fellow, you have me guessing at exactly what you could be driving at with this one! Perhaps you have come across a better way of measuring that a dream was actually taking place for sure? I don't think you would have posted this under such a category if that were the case, however. Perhaps there's much more to dreaming than science can measure. Certainly one can be in certain conditions where all scientific measurements will point to a dream being carried out, but the subject is merely in a heightened state of consciousness / awareness. I myself have had visions walking in broad daylight that were so real, yet so surreal that never in my wildest dreams would I dream I was dreaming such a dream! Has this also happened to you? And is it frequently or just once? Could it be that our Urban has been progressing spiritually? I wonder if fasting helped in this matter or if it had anything to do with it at all?
