Dreams are really cool. They're basically a way to another universe where anything can happen, which is really interesting to me. So, I'm gonna list some facts about the oh-so-interesting universes that our minds make up :))
1. you can't read or tell the time in dreams
2. some people can "lucid dream", which is where you have the ability to control what happens in your dreams
3. the periodic table and the idea of DNA being in a double-helix spiral form were both inspired by dreams that scientists had
4. "premonition dreams" are basically what some people call being "psychic". these dreams are dreams that you have where things happen then they actually happen in real life. apparently, Abraham Lincoln dreamt of his assassination before it actually happened, along with other cases such as 19 Titanic victims having dreams about the catastrophe before it happened
5. dimethyltryptamine is an "isolated and synthetic" form of the chemical our brains naturally produce while we dream. a lot of people use this hallucinogenic (which is highly illegal) to sleep and dream during the day because they love dreaming so much
6. dream catchers are Native American symbols made from weaving string around a hoop and attaching sacred objects(most often feathers and beads), used to protect the owner from having nightmares. I've believed in dream catchers ever since my grandma gave me one when I was little. it may have been my belief that kept my bad dreams from happening, but either way, I believe in them
7. dreams increase your creativity
8. people who are blind but weren't born blind see images in their dreams, but people who were born blind dream with all of their senses except their sight, so they can't see images but they can hear, feel, taste and smell things in their dreams
9. 12% of people can only dream in black and white
10. you can have up to seven dreams in one night
11. people only dream one to two hours on average every night
All of these things are very imformative and I didn't even know most of these things. Number 6 is my favorite because I'm absolutely obsessed with dream catchers. They're so pretty and I don't know if it's because I believe they really work or not, but I haven't had any bad dreams since I have so many in my room now. I wish I could lucid dream though. That would be sooo much fun. -Angel cash
ReplyDeleteAll of these facts that you listed of dreams are really cool. Most of them I didn't even know was true. Number three is really cool, having a dream and then making it become true and is really cool. I too believe that dream catchers do work. For whatever reason, whenever they're there, I don't get bad dreams. Lucid dreams would be really cool to do. To bad I can't do it. Another cool one is number eight. That is really cool and really weird at the same time. Another one that is pretty weird and cool is number 9. I would have never known.

Hey gurl, it's Matty B. This was really cool!! I learned a lot of things about dreams that I never knew before, like not being able to read or tell time in your dreams. The thing about people who were born blind not using their sense of sight while they dream was really interesting to me because I've never thought about that before. One time I controlled my dream and it was kind of cool but kind of weird at the same time. I also had three dreams in one night. This was one of my favorites :-) Good job Faithy
