DREAMS

Dream-1. A series of thoughts, feelings, and images created by the mind during sleep

             4. A wild fantasy or hope

    Each of us dreams each night. That is true even though you wake up and say, “I didn’t dream last night.” A more truthful statement would be, “I can’t remember what I dreamed last night.”

            If you remember a dream, it most likely occurred toward morning. That is when your dreams become more exciting.

            In eight hours of sleep you may spend two hours of time dreaming. Most people dream in color but only about 1/3 of the time you spend sleeping.
