SWOTD - Secret Word Of The Day
The Secret Word of The Day - (swotd) is dream
There are many theories about where, why, and what inspires dreams. I am a dreamer…and what I mean by that is I like to sleep because usually my dreams are way more exciting than my life…I’m not saying my life is boring…but the redundancy of awake life gets annoying sometimes. I am one of those who NEED change in my life…and the more change that occurs, the happier I become. (of course prefer positive change over negative change…but can’t have one without the other that’s why I came up with the analogy - “life is a rollercoaster on a highway” - There will be ups and downs, thrills and chills, emotions dominate us from start to finish, there is a beginning and an end…but remember this, rollercoasters symbolize or represent FUN and most importantly you are givin the oppurtunity to build your own…it just takes a little thought…and then the action begins…So strap on your seat belt or in my case put your helmet on pray for the best and the opportunity to ride again sometime!
I dream in color and 75% of the time when I awake I can remember my dreams down to the smallest details and I can recall how I felt in my dream…I can still recall probably 20% of my dreams and have recently started to record them. I used to own one of those dream dictionaries, but to be honest I’m glad I lost it because I don’t believe that someone can tell me what my dreams symbolize…I mean come’on…show me some statistics on that!
My theory on DREAMS:
From personal experience I believe that when you sleep(rem stage) your brain is processing your memories from your awake time…makes sense to me…I have experienced it and seen enough of it to come to the conclusion that the longer one stays awake for longer than 12 hours the more significant the decrease in their brain function becomes. So in summary, when u sleep your brain processes your memories…and when u wake up u start all over again. That explains why your eyeballs move…there’s some crazy shit going on. And the fun part is when u wake up, and if you remember your dream(s) think about what you did yesterday and see if there’s any association if not than maybe it’s “What Dreams May Come”.
How to dream better
I noticed that everytime I eat carrots close to bedtime my dreams are more vivid. So I know eat carrots every night before I lay the down to sleep. Let me know if it works for you…consider this a social psychological experiment…
