Dream FAQ
Before reading our Dream FAQ below, please keep in mind that - Your dreams are unique; no two people dream the same. Your dreams are based on your emotions and life experiences. Use the information as a "guide" but do realize it can be very different depending on the person.
How many dreams does a person usually have in one night?
On average a person has about anywhere from 2 to 6 dreams per night, (that would be based on a 7-8 hour sleep cycle) Generally during a full 8-hour night sleep, two hours of it is spent in REM sleep which is when dreams usually occur.
Does everyone dream?
Yes, everybody dreams! This has been proven time and time again and considered to be a scientifically proven fact.
Researchers have been able to show that all people that have participated in sleep studies show brain activity during their sleep.
Many people cannot remember their dreams thus the misconception.
Why is it that some people do not remember their dreams?
There are many reasons that you may not remember your dreams. This may be attributed to alcohol consumption, certain medication, fever, poor sleep habits and good old stress; We believe that you can learn to recall your dreams through practice of several techniques.
Do people dream in color?
Most dreams are in color, it seems that people may not be aware of it, because they have difficulty remembering their dreams or simply because color is such a natural part of visual experience.
What causes bad dreams?
Many say certain foods can cause bad dreams. I really don't know if that's true but, I do know that many people who work with their dreams seem to agree that when they have eaten certain food it seems to affect what their dreams consist of, more likely because of the affect the food has on the body, Some dreamworkers we discussed this issue with said they would more accurately describe it as more aware of the dreams and not necessarily bad dreams.
*As a side note, when you eat foods before bedtime that give you indigestion, it may seem that it is causing you to have dreams. This is due to the fact that the indigestion is keeping you slightly awake, so you are slightly aware of these dreams.
