CAMELOT FANTASIES

Done, Emma.

Sorry, no time to answer to your previous posts for now. I will return.

Slasher1985,

This is fascinating stuff. I've long been interested in my dreams, but I've often stopped and started over and over.

I'm going to make a copy of this and peruse it at my leisure, because it was a lot of information.

What shocked me was how sleep order can affect your ability to dream.

The only time I remember my dreams is if I do get up and write it down, but I never thought about lying there and keeping my eyes closed to allow the dream to marinate before recording it.

I had a period during the last four years where I was actively dreaming, and even stranger, remembering these dreams and recording them.

Then, the period passed and I forgot all about it.

I'm glad you guys brought this back to my remembrance. You guys are so evolved. I am learning so much more than about tennis here.

I am so glad I came over here. I am spoiled already.

I don't even know why we sleep in the first place let alone dream.

Here's another very famous one, Mellen Thomas Benedict's near death experience...please listen from 0.39 minutes.

Last night I had a terrible dream, really terrible. I dreamt my own father who's no more had hired this person (who happens to be the Internal Security Manager at work) to kill me. Next things I see this guy was beating me to death. At one point I managed to run away from him and went straight to my dad who I think was just next door. He was with this person I couldn't recognize at all but felt his presence. I begged my father to leave me alone or not kill me, so that I could be with my brother and sister as they needed me. I am not sure if he had let me go, but I found myself in the bathroom throwing up blood. It seemed the guy who was supposed to kill me did some terrible damage to my body that was causing all this internal bleeding. At that point I woke up I was both deeply hurt and shocked.

Now my relationship with my dad had always been wonderful and he's one of persons in my life that I love the most and miss him a great deal, so this dream doesn't make any sense. And I have great relationship with this Security Manager at work too, so really don't know what to make out of it. Mind boggling stuff to say the least.

Did you know that we dream both in REM and non-REM sleep cycles? Non-REM dreams are typically of positive nature and they tend to carry a lot of the stuff from our daily staff. Dreams in REM cycle typically involves the future and future challenges but they are quite melodramatic in their presentation. They say that the cause or the function of the REM sleep is unknown but if you lack it, then you will not be able to learn tasks of complex nature or even understand it. REM sleep happens every 90 minutes in an adult. So if you don't get enough sleep or any sleep at all, then it's likely you are acting out on impulses on a daily basis and perhaps you lack complex reasoning and intellect. You might want to see a doctor in that case. There's a very specific reason why we sleep and why we sleep especially at night.
