DREAMS

Dreams play a very crucial role in our lives. One third of a human life is spent by sleeping. Sleep deprivation has a deep effect on one's efficiency and ability. Hence, dreams are said to stabilize the psychological and physiological activity within us.

Dream can be defined as a series of pictures or events in a mind of a sleeping person. There are actually a few types of dreams :-

• Daydreams - a level of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness. It normally happens during the waking hours where the mind is allowed to stroll and the awareness deteriorates.

• Lucid dreams - enables one to take full control of their dreams and guide them towards the direction they want.

• Nightmares - act as a reaction to real life traumas. It is an unsettling dream that causes a person to wake up feeling very frightened and worried.

•  Healing dreams - are believed to be able to avoid health problems and may help in healing.

• Epic dreams - when a person wakes up from such dreams, he or she would realize that they have discovered something extraordinary about themselves.

All in all, dreams are not just mere imagination that occur during our sleep. Instead, it is a very broad and interesting subject all on its own.
