Dream On, But Sleep Is Very Important, Too


Dream On, But Sleep Is Very Important, Too

Everybody dreams. Some remember their dreams; others don't. The brain never sleeps; neural pathways are as active, whether mediated by ego ing waking state or without it,as pens during sleep. Activation of neural ways produces dreams. During sleep, we go through four to five es of deep sleep and dreaming sodes,each of roughly 90 minutes action. Electro-encephalography (EEG) dies done on the human brain during p, show that deep sleep is characterised production of low frequency (1-4 Hz) ta waves, known to help produce life mood-enhancing chemicals. At this ge, we are totally unaware of our rounding’s. But, dreaming episodes rasterised by rapid eye movement M), are of light sleep kind, from which can be woken up quite easily. Dreams are both internal and external. ce ego, the director, is absent during sleep, neural pathways have free run. Thus, day-long experiences or existing memories are the driving force for internal dreams. When there is Sanyam or tremendous thinking activity on a particular thought during waking time, it leads sometimes to solution-dreams. Several great inventions and discoveries have come through such dreaming process. Externality of dreams comes because brains both receiver and transmitter of human thought. Hence during sleep, memories or signals from knowledge-space impinge on the brain and may modify neural pathways. This can give rise to strange dreams of events and  with. This is also the mechanism of getting prophetic dreams of which ther are many instances. Why don't we remember dreams? Brain scientists say part of it is to do with creating long-term memory But it is dreams we remember that make life interesting. We still don't know why we dream. A possible answer may lie in how synapses behave during sleep. Synapses are connections between two neurons; they allow the transfer of information through passage of neuroche micals across the synaptic cleft, the distance (about 0.02 micron) between neuron and synapse that exchanges neurochemicals. Scientists have found that during deep sleep, the synaptic cleft widens by about 20%. Perhaps it helps in allowing the cerebra spinal fluid to flow through it an to remove toxins from the brain. The more we dream during the night, the less restful is the sleep. A really restful sleep is deep sleep without dreams. This helps in flushing out toxic material from major part of the brain. Besides this, the increase of synaptic cleft may also help in explaining the dreaming process. During sleep, neural pathways are active without ego, so circuitproductiorquite random. But only those pathways produce circuits in which neural connection’s are still strong. Thus "loosened" synapses or those with increased synapcleft might not take part in the informattransfer and hence, in the dreaming process. So dreams could be random in natıBesides, this loosening of neural pathways also explain the removal of some memories of day-long experiences. Sleetherefore necessary to remove clutter or irrelevant information fromthe brain. Too often, we have dreams connect with our suppressed desires; most’re based on unfulfilled emotional needs anpsychological knots based on strong memories that do not get loosened durinsleep and cause recurring dreams. Resolution of these knots throughwisdallows the loosening of strong memorised helps in brain detoxification, producing dreamless sleep
