Due to recurring dreams this week and an imaginary weird pregnant girl with a belly shaped like a square (yes you heard me right), I decided to do some readings about it and here are some interesting facts i'd like to share
DREAM MEANINGS FACTS
Did you know?
- One third of our lives are spent sleeping.
- In your lifetime you will spend about six years of it dreaming. That is more than 2100 days spent in a different world.
- Everybody dreams. Just because you don’t remember your dreams it does not mean that you didn’t dream
- We dream an average of one or two hours every night and we often have four to seven dreams in one night
- Five minutes after the end of a dream, half the content is forgotten. After ten minutes, 99 per cent is lost.
- If you are snoring then you cannot be dreaming
- The word dream stems from the middle English word, ‘dreme’ which means joy and music
- Men tend to dream more about other men, while women dream equally about men and women
- Dreamers who are awakened right after REM sleep are able to recall their dreams more vividly than those who slept through the night.
- Research has shown that during REM sleep men experience erections and women experience vaginal blood flow no matter what the content of the dream. In fact, ‘wet dreams’ may not coincide with overtly sexual content.
- People who give up smoking have longer and more intense dreams
- Toddlers do not dream about themselves. They don’t appear in their own dreams until the age of three or fou
