When the alarm rings, I turn it off so that a little more lie down. But why, when I only dream of my brief conversation or a walk, I wake up and understand that an hour has passed? how could these events last for such a long time? This is for everyone So?
Scientists can now answer this question by testing over those who are able to control their sleep. Review of experience these people leads to interesting discoveries, such as, for example, the ability to tickle yourself in a dream.
The ability to control oneself during sleep has been studied for more than a hundred years. One of the earliest sleep studies was conducted in nineteenth century Frenchman Marcus d ’Hervey de Saint-Denis who found that he manages to manage his sleep from thirteen years. He spent several decades studying activities brain during sleep, when a person is able to direct his dreams.
In his dreams, he, for example, rushed from the roof of a multi-storey building. buildings to see if he dreams of his own death. But he couldn’t see the next dream until the previous nightmare ends. Noticing that the places and people from his dreams were familiar to him, he suggested that dreams are made up of scraps of our memories and that’s pretty rational explanation of dreams.
A recent study by Jennifer Windt of Guettemberg University of Mainz in Germany shows that the essential the difference between dream and reality is precisely the possibility to control yourself. During wakefulness, the brain controls human behavior. In a dream, on the contrary, a person does not know what to expect, and the situation does not depend on his actions.
Windt also asked the subjects to offer the heroes of their dreams tickle them. “And they refused several times,” says Windt: “This means that the heroes of our dreams, that is, those people who we dream, have their own opinion and intentions. ”
Daniel Erlacher of the University of Bern of Switzerland proved that when a person dreams of any movements in the brain the same departments that are responsible for body movements in vigorous condition.
He also managed to find out that during sleep to perform ordinary activities a person spends much more time. Now it’s clear why a short dream actually stretches to hour.
