When you wake up in the middle of the night, is it better to record your dreams with your voice or write them down?
If you sleep with someone, it’s better to write them down. You don’t want to wake them up. Talking into a recorder or a recording app might do it.
If you don’t sleep with anyone else next to you, the answer isn’t so clear.
Either way, recording your dream doesn’t replace writing in a dream journal. You can describe something you saw, but it won’t replace writing it down in your dream journal. That’s the step where you synthesize your experiences. That’s also the step where you tr ..read more

Can your dreams foretell the future?
If they can, how do you know when a dream is prophetic or precognitive—or just a reflection of your subconscious thoughts?
Why would prophetic dreams be limited to St. Joseph, Edgar Cayce, and a few special other people? Why couldn’t you and I have prophetic dreams too?
Great questions!
I have no experience in being a prophet. I do, however, have a lot of experience with studying and trying to understand dreams. I’ve had all kinds of dreams. I especially have had dreams that leave me scratching my head in wonderment years later. I can’t tell you what to thi ..read more

Hopefully your body works like a well-oiled machine, sending signals to keep everything running smoothly.
Have you ever thought about the messenger behind these communications?
Enter acetylcholine – the unsung hero of your nervous system. Responsible for muscle contractions, memory formation, and even regulating heart rate, it plays a role in keeping you on top of your game.
Without enough acetylcholine (abbreviated as ACh), things can go haywire for you. Really bad. Think disrupted focus, weakened muscles, and impaired memory.
A lack of the substance plays a role in several health problems li ..read more

Sometimes something happens during the day.
Whatever it is, you can’t stop thinking about it.
Or maybe you watch something on the Internet.
Whatever it is, it fills your thoughts when you sleep.
They’re not dreams. Oh, no. Dreams have more form and shape than these thoughts.
These are ideas that you’re mulling.
It would be called a “reverie” if you were awake when you were thinking them.
Your brain is busy making connections to other experiences, things you’ve seen and heard, and information.
You’re learning, putting things into context. ALL. NIGHT. LONG.
You’re not really creating, howe ..read more

Q: As of last week, I used to dream every night, sometimes having several dreams in the night. Last week I spent a night in a terrible hotel. The bed was lumpy and the room was noisy. I also got sick from dinner. Since then, I’ve stopped dreaming. I don’t remember any dreams when I wake up. I have nothing to write in my dream diary. Just wondering.–A.G.
In many ways, dreams can tip us off as to what’s going on in our bodies. They can serve a similar role to that of a warning panel on a car. You should be having them regularly, especially if you were before this night.
There could be a lot of r ..read more

There’s a type of dream where you might not even realize that you’re dreaming when you have it—the rehearsal dream.
You just might think of the dream as “just thinking about something.”
It could be a meeting, a presentation, or a conversation you know you’ve got to have with someone.
Be careful. Even if the dream seems very realistic, you’re better off thinking of the dream as a dream and treating it as such.
You wouldn’t trust the conclusions you reach in a dream that was more odd or fantastic, would you?
You shouldn’t. A dream reflects your day-to-day life. They’re go ..read more
