As mentioned in one fo the previous chapter, i are now looking into angle from science plus some descriptions from religious point of view of dream. I have also started to record my own dream for 3 weeks. With 2 weeks on content and 1 week on potential intervention from myself recommended by “knowyourdreams.com”.
I have filtered and found two sources to easy understand the proposed scientific view point of dream. Also, another blog that researching into dream and its meaning from different view point. But the later is in-active for sometimes and no one knows the reason.
http://psychology.about.com/od/statesofconsciousness/p/dream-theories.htm – Basic scientific views of dream.
http://www.knowyourdreams.com/home.htm – More detail view of dreams plus religious meaning of dream.
There are many explainations but personally i found that most people support that dream is a brain cells activities during a certain stage of your sleep that performing a deframentation of your brain. So that your brain storage system becomes more efficient. But somehow it is just a proposal.
Result of 2 weeks dream records – Estimated around 80-90% is what you have gone through of the days. To some forms it appeared in the dream of the night. Not in the same way but is related to a person name, subject. But scenario mostly different. It is breaking, not continuous. But one thing for sure the first minute when you wake up. I am still able to remember potential 50-60% but once after 10 minutes the memories are slowy fading away.
So i have been using a way of remember the key points and key images in the dream and try to dig out as much as possible. So far only with summary but not detail. In 21 days of records, only about 2-3 dreams are more vivid and the content is remembered more. There is also in a day or two, i completely forgot even i put a note just beside my bed.
The final 10-20% of the content come without any link to daily dream. Meeting someone and going different places. But also, like projection of whole image infront of you. In 21 days i never see myself but i am like a role in the dream. Only one night that saw multiple me that is working in everywhere.
In summary
1. Very hard to remember the whole dream every night. 1 Minute 50-60% and after 10 minutes 10-20% can be recalled.
2. Daily images and subjectes will be appeared int he dreams 80-90% but may be presented in different ways.
3. Is like projection in front of you.
4. 10-20% are not explanaible at the moment.
I start interventing into the dream from 15th days onwards on now still under a range data and will provide a summary after another 7-14 days of records. So far, i am able to mildly remind myself when woke up. Going back and intervene a formula of a calculation.
