We know that it is advisable to sleep for certain hours a day, that we do not have to exercise before going to bed and that the nap can be a good thing to relieve us during the night.
Let's discover something new that you did not know about dreams: are they the same for everyone? Are you able to remember everything you dream at night? Can you control your dreams?
'' Differences between men and women''
The differences between men and women also exist in dreams, which should not be caught by surprise. They affect the content, because while the male sector tends to dream of aggressions, women have complex dreams with more details and characters and usually do so with both sexes alike. Men dream more of men, twice as many as girls.
''¿Dreams, in color or black and white?''
It may seem somewhat unusual, but about 2 out of every 10 dreams we have (and remember) are in black and white. There is this small percentage of the population that dreams without any color, although the research says that we tend to dream in pastel shades instead of vivid colors like those we see in our day to day wherever we look.
'' Nightmares with an origin''
At that time when work is very stressful, when we do not have a good time with our partner or we have complicated family problems, it is the instant that nightmares make their appearance. What you should do is discover what the origin of those dreams can be because there is always something that triggers them: worries, stress and anxiety are often reasons for your dreams to become your worst nightmare.
''¿The control of dreams?''
The question is simple, is it possible to control dreams? It is an unusual phenomenon called lucid dreaming that happens when we are aware that we are dreaming and we are able to control the dream to take it to where we want. There are people who possess that special ability, although 50% of the population remembers having done it at least once in their life. Are you one of them?
''The reaction of your body is as if you are awake''
The experience when we sleep and dream is recorded in our body and brain in much the same way as if we were awake. It makes sense to think that the body reacts in the same way to a situation of stress, an erotic dream or an act of vandalism. Hence we sometimes get upset, angry or angry, because what you have lived in the dream your body has also experienced it in reality.
''If you remember your dreams, you are different''
Normally, most people do not remember their dreams after a few minutes after waking up. Only a few privileged have the ability to recall in detail what happened overnight, which may be due to a region of the brain called temporoparietal junction that shows more spontaneous activity during sleep and also when awake. You are one of them?
''¿Why we forget dreams easily?''
How many times have you got up with the feeling of having had a dream (good or bad) but after a while you have completely forgotten? Do not worry, you are not the only one, 95% of the dreams are forgotten very quickly within minutes of waking.
We dream many things throughout the night, dreams that happen one after another. Reason why the brain has no opportunity to settle the memory, only reminisce the emotion of something pleasant or unpleasant. If, on the other hand, you have awakened during the night, you may have a better memory of your dream because you will have settled better.
''We always dream''
It is an undeniable truth, we dreamed absolutely every night since we were born. According to research shows that we do it in periods of 5 to 20 minutes per night, which could add up to an average of about 6 years throughout our life. We do it almost always during the REM phase but we are dreaming constantly, that we do not remember something does not mean that it has not happened.

@arturotrans I had a dream last night... but as soon as I woke up I forgot it! Do you know what that means? #seriously
Why do not we remember dreams?
The brain does not function as awake as it does, so it will process the information in a different way. According to research to sleep patients, it has been discovered that people who sleep a lot have inactive brain areas that play a key role in memories and memory, right during the MOR phase of sleep, at the time we dream.
Yes, subtle mind:) Great post!
