I dream throughout my sleep. Let me preface this by stating I know about REM sleep and the cycles of sleep, etc. Doesn’t work like that with me–not for quite awhile. From the moment my head hits the pillow I am already in an internal monologue, which trancends into dreaming.
I have woke up throughout the night several times dreaming a certain dream and it continues each time I fall back to sleep.
My dream life almost challenges my real life. I vivdly remember each dream. Most dreams involve family or friends in some capacity-some are romantic, some are of a same quasi-real place, many are of me on a mission to find something or be somewhere in a hurry. I always seem to be convincing someone of something in my dreams. Thank goodness my dreams aren’t scary or violent, though many times the feeling is that I have to do something or there will be dire consequences. Bottom line is I don’t get a lot of restful sleep. My mind never rests. Anyone similiar? Any thoughts?
Oh–and I am a night owl. I usually don’t get to bed until 2am – many times later. I think best and am most creative at night.

About every night when I go to bed, I sleep and I have dreams…Dreams that I don’t want to have (or that I SHOULDN’T be having) and they’re always the same. So, to stop this I have been trying not to sleep because I’m afraid of the dreams that I shouldn’t be having. What do I do?

I am writing an essay ‘WHy do we sleep?’ and in the first section I describe the process of sleep: REM and NREM, the sleep cycle etc. I have researched this information from a book, the reference for which I have, but I am not sure where to put this reference within the text.

This is an example of one of the paragraphs
Sleep can be divided into two differing phases(*). The first of these is called Slow-Wave Sleep (SWS), which is made up of four sub-stages, and which is where the brain waves are slower than those given out whilst awake. The second is known as Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. In this ‘phase’ the brain waves are more reminiscent of those produced when one is awake. It is called as such because during this phase one’s eyes can be seen to move rapidly from side to side. It is also within this phase that we have been found to experience most of our dreams.

Should I put the reference (Moorcraft & Belcher, 2003) at the beginning (*), or should I make an explicit reference to this book as the thing I have researched from, and say something like "Moorcraft and Belcher’s 2003 book gives a concise outline of the process of sleep."
Or should I keep referencing (Moorcraft & Belcher, 2003) after each paragraph/significant statement?

Please help! Tysm x

I have been googling about some symptoms for my recent desire to sleep all day, and one of the possibilities (Never mind that I am not a doctor or anything similar, I’m just one of those people googling things on the internet when they feel ill.) is narcolepsy. In one article it mentions that people with narcolepsy go into the REM cycle pretty much upon sleeping. So since REM is when you have dreams would it be correct to assume that people with Narcolepsy have longer and more intricate dreams?

I personally have had dreams that have lasted for hours with immense detail I feel like iv read a book or seen a very complicated movie.

Thank you for the time!

How many dreams does one usually have in one night? Because, i dont dream every night, but when i do dream, i have between 2 and 7 dreams, back to back to back to back. So, i was wondering if anyone knew the average number of dreams the average person has in one night.
Sorry i dont know this but what is REM?
Ok, nevermind i’ve figured out what REM means.

Its driving me crazy! every single night i either can’t fall asleep until the wee hours int he morning when its too late to enter the dream cycle to reach rem sleep. when i do fall asleep within 5 hours of hitting the hay i have nightmares, non-stop. even the dreams that arn’t particularly scary are still freaking scary. i don’t think that the dreams have any coorlation for example this week i drempt about being put in an isolation room with possibly infected people with zombism and last night i drempt i was a fugitive running from these guys and when i ran off into the forest, one of them found me and said they’d let me go if i had sex with him.

its just driving me nuts, its like being in an unpleasent movie every time i do fall asleep. and most of the time i can’t sleep until the last two hours of the night

Im 17 weeks pregnant, in my first pregnancy, and I understand we as pregnant women go thru this cycle called REM sleep. Now, I had a dream my sister killed my baby, and woke up crying my eyes out. I just want to know what dreams like that signify.
