We spend a third of our lives asleep, and we dream for a large portion of the time we are asleep, but we have no idea what dreams are or why we have them.
Today we are gonna talk about dreaming. I’m going to bring you a lot of information related to what we do know, or think we know, along with my own thoughts on the subject. We are also going to cover several things related to dreams, like lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis, people who act out their dreams, and how scientists are trying to figure out if they can change our waking thoughts and desires by manipulating our dreams. We’re going to talk about the heavy abundance of negative dreams, and how I think we can change that. We are also going to talk about many spiritual dream associations, like dream telepathy, precognition in dreams, shared dreams, time-travel in dreams, etc.
