Facts about dreaming

Some facts about dreaming:

•   You Forget 90% of Your Dreams
Within 5 minutes of waking, half of your dream is forgotten. Within 10, 90% is gone.

•    Blind People also Dream
.
People who became blind after birth can see images in their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound, smell, touch and emotion.

•   Everybody Dreams.
Every human being dreams (except in cases of extreme psychological disorder). If you think, you are not dreaming, you just forget your dreams.

•   In Our Dreams We Only See Faces, That We already Know
.
Our mind is not inventing faces – in our dreams we see real faces of real people that we have seen during our life but may not know or remember. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces throughout our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams.

•   Not Everybody Dreams in Color.
A full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and white. The remaining number dream in full color. Studies from 1915 through to the 1950s maintained that the majority of dreams were in black and white, but these results began to change in the 1960s. Today, only 4.4% of the dreams of under-25 year-olds are in black and white. Recent research has suggested that those changing results may be linked to the switch from black-and-white film and TV to color media.

•    Dreams are Symbolic.
If you dream about some particular subject it is not often that the dream is about that. Dreams speak in a deeply symbolic language.  Whatever symbol your dream picks on it is most unlikely to be a symbol for itself.

Things you probably don’t know about me

THINGS YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW ABOUT ME:

1. My childhood nickname was ‘AGKO’. They said the noises that I made when I cooed when I was still a baby sounded like ‘HAGKOOO’, hence the nickname. And some of my aunts still call me that.
2. When I was a kid, I used to read books backward. I start from the last page, and continue on reading until I get to the start of the story. Weird? Hah! I knew the ending right even before knowing the beginning (and how I wish life’s like that).
3. I first tasted beer at the age of 6.
4. I received a ‘Best in Math’ award in kinder. But now? Math is something I wish didn’t exist.
5. I’m one heck of a frustrated writer
