Life is but a DREAM✨

There is a study that the average person over the age of 10 dreams about 4-6 times a night.

That’s over 1,460 dreams a year. Here’s the thing, around 95% of dreams are forgotten by the time we wake up because our brains don’t process that it is a dream before we wake up. If we remember details from the dream, it’s because we’ve started to realize it was a dream.

REM sleep cycles usually occur every 1.5 to 2 hours, and the body typically enters REM sleep about 90 minutes after falling asleep. Dreams tend to last longer as the night progresses, and can range from 5 to 20 minutes in length.

I know it may seem a bit longer than that to us. This sounds like I am teaching you, but I have always found dreams and dreaming interesting. I remember someone told me we dream every night when we go to sleep, but there would be times I wake up and not recall dreaming…just darkness.

In 2020, I started a thing where once I wake up I jot down every detail I remember from my dreams as quick I can.

I decided to get myself a dream journal because I miss writing and journaling, and I write faster than I can type. I think it’s also a good way for me to start remembering things in general.

Do any of you like journaling? Does anyone have a dream journal?

I have been dreaming a bit more lately. Thought it would be a good idea to get a dream book.

... Read moreDreaming is a universal experience that comprises much of our nightly rest. Studies show that while we dream 4-6 times per night, around 95% of these dreams slip away from memory due to the brain's quick forgetting mechanism. Keeping a dream journal can significantly enhance dream recall, allowing individuals to reflect on recurring themes and emotions present in their dreams. This practice has been associated with benefits in creativity and problem-solving by linking subconscious thoughts to conscious experiences. If you're interested in enhancing your journaling practice, consider exploring various methods, such as writing immediately upon waking or using prompts to guide your reflection. Engaging with dreams through journaling not only deepens the understanding of one's internal landscape but can also lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth. Additionally, various online resources and communities support dream journaling enthusiasts, providing tips, guidance, and sharing insights that further enrich the experience of exploring dreams.
