its not that i dont remember my dreams.... i dont dream

[kounet_su]

i used to when i was young.. but then they just slowly
faded away and ever since then i havnt dreamed
iv always heard that i just dont remember my dreams
but i dont believe it because even so i should be able
to remember atleast one dream that i have had since then
but i have nothing at all
except when i did sleep i would hear every sound around me
everything i would smell every smell
i could recall a conversation someone was having
while i was sleeping

ever since i stopped dreaming
iv seen things while i was awake.. i guess you could call them
hallucinations idc what you want to call them
but its not the most enjoyable thing..

anybody know what to think of this?

It means your not asleep, your body is just resting. It happened to me for 3 months straight and I would hallucinate when I opened my eyes too. Do you drink a lot of gatorade/powerade or other such drinks? For the 3 months it happened to me I was a heavy powerade drinker and when I stopped about 4 or 5 days later I was truly sleeping again. Now remember I'm not saying it must be something your drinking just this is what happened to me and it "may" be whats effecting you.

i dont drink anything with caffeine.. or any energy drinks
i dont take any meds or anything..
iv heard that if you dont dream then you will literally
go insane because that is how you deal with certain daily issues
or something like that
and since im not dreaming maybe iv become shizophrenic
it seems as though i have all the symptoms of it

Itz Scientifically proven that you don't remember ya dreamz after you wake up.

Itz only possible to remember for a intelligent person who uses his mind/brain roughly...... can be called as GEEK or SMART.

hehe....

Hi,
Even though you dont remember your dreams, in sleep there is always a succession of dreams going on. It is your flow of consciousness. However we remember dreams only when something unusual or life threatening on in sleep. A healthy, fit person remembers very few dreams.

This is completely rubbish. Dreams deal only what is going on in your sleep.
In your early teenage years there are lots of psychological issues going on in your brain regarding school and sexual awareness. When negative thoughts intrude into sleep, your subconscious creates a dream to deal with it. that is why many people have dreams related to school days.
You should count your blessings that you're healthy an fit, and probably have very few problems at present.

Well apparently 1 percent of people simply do not dream. Its a fact.

Dreams do not seem essential.Yet sleep is and some of the brain processes involved in it are. Yet i tend to think that the things that we are thinking about during sleep ... brain processes whereby we transfer data from short term to long term memory ... these are vital. Our dreams will probably link to these vital topics.

--------------------------------------------------
I believe that the dream mind thinks in exactly the same way as the day to day mind. that embedded in dreams is a language just as complex and sophisticated as the english language. When in real life we say "I felt really targeted by my boss yesterday" then your dream may feature a line such as "I was being shot by my boss who was holding a rifle". The dream mind is expressing the exact same idea but merely in pictures and feelings. My website tries to show how real life emotions can be translated in such a way. The following two pages feature a dream dictionary which explores the many ways in which symbols can translate into real life emotions and a series of dreams which have been explained in detail.

Where did you dig these out dated ideas up from? It is true that some people don'tremember their dreams, however it does not mean they do not dream. There are people with brain damage that do not have the capacity to recall their dream, however dreaming is an essential part of life.
Dreams do not process memory but use it as a source of energy to create dreams from it. Memory is made on the hoof. Some events leave a permanent memory as soon as they happen. Other, less important events leave a track. If you want to learn something, you have to go over the same track many times to make the track deeper. It is like making a track in forrest. A large meteorite leaves a crater, if you cut a track, it can overgrow.
For the new ideas on memory and learning have a look at "Mirror Neurons"

Well probably on TV or on the internet somewhere. It was a proper study. They hooked up electrodes to the brain and found that some people(1 percent) simply do not dream at all.

But hey I just watched this on TV. It seems credible enough.

Well course, I have heard of neurons and particularly neural networks. They are how the brain works.

As a matter of interest where did you get your ideas from.

Hi,
I have my own ideas about dreaming as I studied my own dreams since 1948. In the 1960s I also studied ESP. Read many recent papers on dream research. I find general ignorance about the function of dreaming. There are as many different theorys as there are papers! Completely incoherent!
BTW, wiring someone up to amachin does not necessarily show dreams, as dreaming activates the brain. The various scans show what is happening in the brain, but not how the subconscious mind operates.
