Why Do We Dream?

It is a question that has fascinated scientists, philosophers, and dreamers alike for centuries. Dreams that occur during sleep, have sparked numerous theories and interpretations throughout history. From Freud's psychoanalytic perspective to modern neuroscience research, the quest to understand the purpose and meaning of dreams continues to intrigue and captives us.

Circulating from the wires of our consciousness, tales of the night called dreams have captured human curiosity for centuries. They are the silent films of our sleeping brains, often forgotten upon waking but with a profound impact on the tapestry of our lives. Dreams are not just our imagination which are a complex combination of memory, emotion and creative thinking and offer a unique window into the depths of our psyche, revealing insights into our deepest fears, desires and unprocessed emotions.

The latest scientific research is shedding light on the neural processes that occur during dreams. REM and non-REM sleep are phases of our sleep that affect our dream states and in contemporary versions of Freud and Jung, it is important to examine how fantasies, dreams, are captured in the window of our unconscious, the mirror that reflects our emotional state.

But dreams are not just personal experiences but are deeply woven into the fabric of our culture; influencing art, literature and mythology across civilizations. Dream studies delve into the mysterious world of dreams, seeking answers to the perennial question, Why do we dream?

Dreams are not just fleeting shadows in the night but are the deepest details of our psyche, revealing our deepest fears, desires and questions and as we journey through the lands of dreams, we continue to try to understand the deeper meanings and answers to why we dream, a quest that is still as exciting as dreams.

The Conscious Electromagnetic Information (CEMI) Field Theory

Consider driving along a familiar road. You may be listening to the radio, thinking about some problem at work, but your brain is busy performing all the complex computations necessary to control your limb movements and maintain your car on the busy road, unconsciously. You spot a hazard sign 'Roadworks Major Congestion Ahead' and immediately your conscious mind takes control, to slow the car and perhaps try to find an alternative route home. What is it that is taking control in these situations? What we need to look for is something that is a product of the brains activity, that integrates information but which also has the power to influence that activity. Surprisingly, we have known for years that such an entity exists within our brain. The neurons in our brain transmit electrical signals along and between nerve fibers. It is always assumed that the electrons and neurotransmitters moving down these nerves are the movers and shakers of neuronal computation. However, all elect

Dreaming Is A DMT Experience

Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT , is a potent psychedelic drug commonly found in nature. DMT is also produced by our brains and contribute to a wide variety of experiences. Scientists have also been intrigued by the possibility that DMT would be involved in, for example, the generation of psychedelic experiences or dreamlike states. This video will briefly examine the physiological function of endogenous DMT from a pharmacological perspective. You can get a chemical version of course, and the resulting trip or hallucination is very profound and many would say life changing. But there's a problem with reading loads of peoples stories about DMT and I think by reading and hearing about peoples stories, you're actually changing what might have happened to you if you'd never heard the stories. The same can be said of lucid dreaming, if you constantly hear things like 'when you lucid dream, you'll be met by the terrifying sleep paralysis demon' then you start to believe it

You Are The Universe

Image
The universe is a reflection of consciousness. Everything in your life, your reality and your experiences is like an audition for your attention just as celestial bodies orbit around the sun. Your thoughts, feelings, perceptions and sensations depend entirely on the energy you invest. That which you ignore ceases to exist in your experiential realm. The challenge arises from the unconsciousness with which we often navigate this process. Anything that transpires in your life need not become your experience if you choose not to lend it your attention. This may sound counterintuitive but it's a fact worth considering. When you refuse to invest your attention, events and circumstances lose their impact on your vibrational frequency. In the realm of the Law of Attraction, thoughts are often touted as creators of reality. However, thoughts in and of themselves are empty vessels, they simply vie for your attention. You hold the power to energize them by saying "yes" or dismiss t
