"We Only Dream of What We Know....Our dreams are frequently full of strangers who play out certain parts - did you know that your mind is not inventing those faces - they are real faces of real people that you have seen during your life but may not know or remember? The evil killer in your latest dream may be the guy who pumped petrol in to your Dad’s car when you were just a little kid. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces through our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams."

The average person has about 3 to 5 dreams per night, but some may have up to 7 dreams in one night. The dreams tend to last longer as the night progresses. During a full 8-hour night sleep, two hours of it is spent dreaming.

Well done

And on a sleep theme. It turns out you should not sleep for 8 hours or more or YOU WILL DIE!!!!!!! No true. According to a 6 year study by Professor Daniel Kripke at the University of California. It involved 1.1 million people in this study in 2004 and a significantly large part of those who slept for 8 hours or more(also 4 hours or less) died during it's course.

Uh, the others will live forever?

*shugs* Well they were more likely to live more then 6 years. I have a theory that those who slept 8+ were murdered by the others as they were feking sick of those lazy gits sleeping in all day

I only sleep 6-7 hrs, more time to enjoy life

Blind people do dream. Whether visual images will appear in their dream depends on whether they where blind at birth or became blind later in life. But vision is not the only sense that constitutes a dream. Sounds, tactility, and smell become hypersensitive for the blind and their dreams are based on these senses.

Some more facts about sleep:

-The record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses.

- The continuous brain recordings that led to the discovery of REM (rapid eye-movement) sleep were not done until 1953, partly because the scientists involved were concerned about wasting paper.

- REM dreams are characterised by bizarre plots, but non-REM dreams are repetitive and thought-like, with little imagery - obsessively returning to a suspicion you left your mobile phone somewhere, for example.

- Certain types of eye movements during REM sleep correspond to specific movements in dreams, suggesting at least part of the dreaming process is analagous to watching a film

The word dream stems from the Middle English word, dreme which means "joy" and "music".

Dreamers who are awakened right after REM sleep, are able to recall their dreams more vividly than those who slept through the night until morning.

Physiologically speaking, researchers found that during dreaming REM sleep, males experience erections and females experience increased vaginal blood flow - no matter what the content of the dream. In fact, "wet dreams" may not necessarily coincide with overtly sexual dream content.

The sun is 330,330 times larger than the earth!

 

[CaptainKirk]

I was just going to post something along those lines.

Did you know that the Earth is approximately 93 million miles from the sun? Even at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second), it takes light from the sun 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth.

facts for the day.

Good, rich, passionate kissing can help you burn up to 600 calories per hour!


The average person spends 336 hours of his or her life kissing. At an approximate length of one minute each, that’s 20,160 kisses! It’s worth it to learn to kiss well

Scotty: That Klingon bitch killed her father. Mark my word, she did not shed one bloody tear.

Captain Spock: Hardly conclusive, Mr. Scott, since Klingons have no tear ducts.

It's just a shame that we're not Klingons, so we wouldn't have to suffer!
