ANYTHING THAT WE REALIZE IS A PART
OF OUR LIFE . THINKING UNKNOWIGLY
STRIKES OUR BRAIN.IN VERTUAL
WORLD DREAMER HAS NO CONTROL

REFLECTION OF OUR HIDDEN DESIRES.
Dreams are successions of
images, ideas, emotions,
and sensations that happen
involuntarily in the mind during
certain stages of sleep.The content
and purpose of dreams are not
definitively understood, though they
have been a topic of scientific
speculation and a subject of
philosophical and religious interest
throughout recorded history. The
scientific study of dreams is
called oneirology. Scientists believe
that other, non-human mammals, as
well as birds, also dream.
Dreams can last for a few seconds, or
as long as twenty minute.Person can
see three to five dreams per night, but
some people may see dreams in one
night. The dreams tend to last longer
as the night progresses. During a full
eight hour night sleep, two hours of it
is spent dreaming. Some philosophers
have concluded that what we think of
as the "real world" could be or is an
illusion. The first recorded mention of
the idea was by Zhuangzi, and it is also
discussed in Hinduism, which makes
extensive use of the argument in its
writings.
A small minority of
people say that they
dream only in black
and white.In 2008
study by a
researcher at the
University of Dundee
found that people
who were only
exposed to black and
white television and
film in childhood
reported dreaming
in black and white
about 25% of the
time.
Dreams can at times make a creative thought
happen to the person or give a sense of
inspiration. In Judaism, dreams are
considered part of the experience of the
world that can be interpreted and that
lessons can be garnered from. Christians
mostly shared their beliefs with the Hebrews
and thought that dreams were of the
supernatural element because in Old
Testament was stories of dreams with divine
inspiration. Many Christian men preached
that God talked to his people through their
dreams. The most common emotion
experienced in dreams is worry.Negative
emotions are much more common than
positive ones.
A nightmare is an unpleasant
dream that can cause a
strong negative emotional
response from the mind,
typically fear or horror, but
also despair, worry and great
sadness. The dream may
contain situations of danger,
discomfort, psychological or
physical terror. Sufferers
usually awaken in a state of
distress and may be unable
to return to sleep for a
prolonged period of time.
Freud suggested that bad
dreams let the brain learn to
gain control over emotions
resulting from distressing
experiences.
Jung suggested that dreams
may compensate for one-
sided attitudes held in waking
consciousness.
Ferenczi proposed that the
dream, when told, may
communicate something that
is not being said outright.
