Why do we dream? - Amy Adkins 

Me who closes eyes and dreams 5 times: haha me go sleep dream

yeh lol.I always say "hey i want to see what happens next!" ;-;

always

Minh Thư yah

I would often go back to sleeping because I wanted to go back to the dream that I was having. It sometimes works. One time when it worked, I said to the friend in my dream, ‘ I’m back. ‘

oh my gawd are you a mind reader?

Yeah and firt I thought it was part of my real life then in the middle of the day I realize it's just a dream

@@human1258 IKR

Yup

OMG YES

I recently moved overseas, I had to move away from all my friends and family. I once had a dream that I moved back. It felt so real that I cried when I woke up and realized it was fake.

i dreamt of getting an iphone and i knew it was a dream but i still hoped that it wasn't and i held on to the iphone and then when i woke up it was just a dream.

I usually wake up from dreams with a feeling of relief. Say I slapped my sister in the face in my dream, id wake up and say "Phew, just a dream. Dont have to apologize"

Lol I thought that you were going to quote the matrix.

Of course , Everyone must have experienced it quite often.

For some reason, once something funny happened to me, and it was late at night and I was tired. And so when I woke up in the morning, I was about to say "Hey, wanna know something funny that happened in my dream?" but that thing happened in real life lol. For some reason, I remembered this after seeing your comment.

Yeah it happened to me too

Yeah, I've been there too..... LoL

Yeah same

god sometimes I think that I'm dreaming, when I'm in real life, those sucks.

Every face you see when you're asleep you have seen at some point when awake.

And dreams feels so real

And things that doesn't even make sense in real life makes sense in dream world

MrSuus try lucid dreams they’re insane

@@shaanajaz8541 I've been trying to lucid dream for so long but it just doesn't work

Hana Ahmed ya

I get them on the weekend a lot. I got one where there was school next day but my self conscious was like "Yo yo yo, tomorrow is Saturday dude! Just remember this is a dream." then I think "god damnit how much longer is this? I wanna start ma weekend"

Yeah

Hana :Jinghay: yup, once i dreamed about me telling me :"yo salma wake up you're gonna be late WAKE UP you better stop this dream"

All the time

True! Sometimes I also feel amazed about the dreams I have. Although I do forget them after waking up, I remember the feelings I felt in my dreams.

I know exactly what you mean

You have to write and publish some of your adventures! I would die for a good fiction book right now and you might be able to make a good one.

@@guandechoo6946 Believe it or not, your comment just inspired me to do that. I'll start with making a website and writing them there. Ill let you know when I put up the first one.

Yes my dude! Your gonna be a great writer one day! I'll be here cheering you on!

Ehh i don't think I wanna know 😂

Charmaine Thompson even when I lucid dream I keep forgetting this.

Sameeee

the only dream come true

Charmaine Thompson what happens when you use it ?

Then immediately forgets it after waking up

Best comment here

@@DevoteeOfAergia What if it already happened but the person who knew the answer immediately forgot it right after waking up?

if that happens TELL SIENCE

You know, I heard this story that the guy who build the coloured films for TV Actually had a dream in coloured and thats how he got the idea Idk 😅🤣 something of that such

“We dream to solve problems” Yes has happened to me many times x

I work in tech as well and same thing happens to me all the time, you're not alone!

A gift for you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SdZIiBLtWf4.html

Yes it did happen to me only once. I was shock, but pretty glad about it. Cos i was able to finish up a very difficult math problem the night before.

Hi

I'm not sure, but I think that a déjà vu happens in a similar way in reality some time ago. But this time your brain is too slow to get new information and it just take the old, happend once before.

@@lovepeaceisneverguaranteed7385 can you explain what you mean?

@@shahadarzouni5601 oh kk. Yeah it is.

ikr lmao

i thought i was the only one who noticed lmao

Yes, when I was little I would sometimes do that, but now, I can't.

oml i do that, it's like you're simply just thinking but then it turns into a dreamish kinda moment, kinda cool.

I do that, it helps me sleep!

Yeah, it does have a name, that is usually used for lucid dreaming, pretty cool, recommended to imagine the scenario while trying to fall asleep or one hour before going to sleep

I do that too

I’ve had similar dreams with loved ones. What a gift to have had that time to say goodbye.

My desire for that experience is what led me to this video. I’m glad you had that opportunity! What a sweet feeling ❤️

I.dream A.lot about people is gone on.But it is like I had a visited with them.

A lot of people get this. That’s got to be so nice. I wish everyone could do this

Seriously

bruh lol

Id rather know this is not true..🤒🤒🙏🤦

Maybe the death of others ?

if you go can i go with you

+darksskull and super duper cool, it made feel in this way only cool animation can make you feel (in a good way of course ;))

+Nati Whatever brain has it scintillating ability to paint your dream. animation stands nowhere to plaster its imagination.

It reminds me of a Klasky Csupo cartoon from Nickelodeon. (Rugrats, The Wild Thornberry's, As Told By Ginger, etc.)

mostly Sci-Fi

I used dream that I was on tv. And everytime I tried to go to sleep it helped. 😊

It is better than tv if you pay more attention to your dreaming.

Yeah I love dreaming!!!!

Why dream? What else are we going to do while we're laying there all night sleeping?

PLEASE

You know your wife is boring when going to bed is the worst part of your day.

ngl sometimes my dreams be funny asf, waking up bc i was laughing too hard

I'm major Tom's secretary. He can hear you.

TRUE

If u die in your dreams then your brain is not accustomed to handle a situation after death;so we immediately get awake.

SO MANY of my dreams have elevators in them. One time I had a dream that I was in a mint green elevator with J.K. Rowling, and we were going DOWN really fast. Another dream I had was one that involved taking the elevator in a version of my school that had 16 stories. It was weird.

If my claustrophobic mother had a dream like that it would've been unbelievably worse than your reaction 💀💀

@@3-.- I remember I once had a dream where I was running from a wasp. I woke up right after the wasp flew down my shirt.

I once had a dream where people were being stuffed and put on display..

yep, it has happened to me so often that my mom asked me not to tell her my dreams anymore, she says it can be scary to hear them

Happened to me 2 times. Prove for me that god excists. I could never ever knew these things

Yeah, this happens to me a lot, usually in random or uncomfortable situations and I usually get a feeling of Deja vu like I lived through it before.

Yepp ,,, it happened with me i dreamed once that my friend is giving me sweets as she topped in her school , and same day in the evening she gave me chocolate for 1st position in school . 😋😋😋😋

True!! It's really irritating btw.

Write down your dreams. Immediately after you wake up, u will remember some of it if you try

Nurfiqry ilham Zulfikar that works for me:)

I know this might be a stupid question but what's quiddich

***** an extremely cool sport in Harry Potter on broomsticks

Sometimes I realize I was dreaming without doing anything, but most of the times I hold up four fingers, put it behind my back, and then look at it again. If it was a dream the number of fingers you're holding up will change. Works everytime

***** yeah, basically. I find the habit only settled in after I was able to constantly check my fingers about once every ten minutes without forgetting

I had lucid dreams numerous times. What i noticed is that i usually get those dreams after i woke up and went back to sleep(not immediately). Still with eyes closed, it keeps the dream sleep/dream state dominant. During this phase, try to think random thoughts. At the same time, allow your 'wake' state to slowly emerge. Then try to empty thoughts and go back to sleep. This isn't a method, im just stating my personal observations. The interesting thing is although i am aware i was dreaming, but i certainly wasn't myself. My thoughts were 'oh i am dreaming, this must be a dream, i can do whatever i want..', but my knowledge of my past/real world didn't occur to me, as if either it has lost its priority or my awareness severed the link to those memories. But still i could differentiate them. And in my dream, it seemed as thought i could remember similar environment/situations i have experienced in them better than i would have tried to recall in my wake state. It was as though my awareness is tied to a different set of memory. I am currently learning chemistry, and my dream is to solve things like these. To me, dreams is a big clue to the mystery of life.

Damn how did I think this up like this is one of the few moments where my two overworked braincells rub together and create thought™

There is a theory that we experience our dreams because the occipital lobe (visual part of our brains) needs to stay active to prevent other regions from taking over it (as the brain must utilise all available parts). So by generating its own visual activity during sleep, the occipital lobe prevents being taken over by other regions :)

lol you're just bunching up all the hypothesis presentes in the video? are you aware that most of them are mutually exclusive? they are just theories, we have no real idea why we dream

which is the same when we are awake

Miracle

Thank you

Dunno. But I get them often. I like to time them when they happen and my longest is about 5-6 seconds.

What is Deja Vu?

-Moon Star. GOOgLe iT

@@secretlyamonkey ok.

-Moon Star. It’s sort of like feeling like what you’re doing already happened before. If that makes sense.

Nah

do you happen to be a gamer?

This happens with me too. I thought I was the only one

If I wake up from a dream sometimes if I fall asleep right after I wake up I can resume the dream

same experience

sometimes i hear two things after eachother and then i might hear those two things again another time like a week later and it triggers some wierd memory thing but the second time i hear it it feels like i never heard it the first time and i dreamed about it :)

yo mamma* joke

Nah, they made an oedipus joke (at least, I really hope that's what that was since it was during the Freud bit)

Yes, i did

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9SRCT_dR964.html

yes i did

No, a brain can't completely formulate a new human being itself. If you dreamt of them, then you may have seen them or someone very similar

In my experience, people I dream about are either mismatched versions of people I already knew (with different characteristics and similar ones) or someone I have seen but never talked to. Though, the idea of deja vu (imagining you did something in a dream already with this person then when you actually know them the same thing occurs) is super interesting to me!

Haha.

Do you ever have lucid dreams?

+Blaze Blue Yes SIR.

I oughtta be a genius then...

+gerald g for real though huh

Uhh this happened with the members of bts (it’s a Korean boy group

Sometimes that happens, and sometimes I’m standing somewhere and I randomly recognize a celeb and ask or an autograph.

This always happens to me but it's between me and Day6. Lmao.

this happened to me with dream!

rl 9 nah

Holyheck really?? 🤭🤭 that happened to me a few times before sleeping

@@Satsuki-sv4xf Well, scientists and doctors aren't sure yet, but this is one of the theories :) And same! It's happened to me so many times

Omg that makes sense. That's why after that my heart beats so fast I can't barely breath 🤣

Lol yeah this was a Tumblr post. Idk if it's accurate but definitely very interesting

The falling feeling when you are trying to get sleep or just into sleep or sleeping is because your body detects motion. What it means is that your body was completely still and suddenly some body part moved maybe because of your sleeping position or due to your surrounding like somebody made movement in your mattress and your still body detected it which made you wake up immediately because its an emergency alert system of our brain so that we shouldn't get killed while sleeping.

。斑比 YES i was just going to say something about that

Lol

Lmao🤣😂

。斑比 i love this comment

I don't get it

Even if we have never fallen like rhat

sleep is just a free trial of death

+TheTorridestCheese dreams often are 'trailers' of upcoming events in our life

+TheTorridestCheese Me too! Once I dreamed this girl was on my parent's bed and she told me to leave.The next day,she took my friend away and told me to leave.

Those are the best kinds of dreams! I miss having them. Do you dream about flying a lot? I guess by your username you experience lucid dreams?

@@Badass_Brains Yea, I dream of flying and running very, really very fast. I dreamed once flying in a helicopter in insane speed that it crashed at the end. But the common feature between these dreams is that while I fly or run fast I pass through many places I know very fast, this may be that my brain is trying to symbolize something for me. Regarding lucid dreams, there was an exceptional one happened to me, I once told myself in wakefulness that when I fall asleep and start dreaming, I will look to my self and see what I wear, and when I start dreaming I remembered that, looked And found that I was wearing a white T shirt. It was very entertaining to control my dream. Some of my dreams are mind boggling that I wish I was a talented artist or 3D animator to produce them in real world due to there special type of their nostalgic feeling. Also I’m the type of person who experiences sleep paralysis now and then, and I have some dramatic stories with each one. 😄 By the way, your channel is awesome 👏✨ keep going.

There's a phobia of dreaming O= Maybe that's it

Me too. I guess it's not because of contents itself but because of style of animation depicted

Exactly... Sometimes it happened that when I am at a certain place, I remember I had dreamt it few years back... Strange isn't it!?

INFINITE 39 Thats not what I have felt. I was walking by a corner shop when suddenly I imagined/ felt like remembering I bought a couch. It wasnt something i’ve done before. It felt like having De Ja Vu but not exactly it. I didnt do something and suddenly remember ive done it before.

@@marilouungos2883 wah! That's kinda creepy...

It happens to me too! I'll be randomly sitting somewhere doing something normal, and see someone walk by at an angle, or see someone say something in a specific tone of voice and think "This has happened before". Only thing is, I don't know when.

Deja vu? What is this.

Yeah my dreams are crazy unrealistic. When I wake up it's always like I just saw some weird movie with a warped plot. Yesterday I had a dream about 2 twins trying to kill me in an old Indian building in which we were the only humans. There were elves and dwarves doing some kind of work there. And rule breakers in that building where punished with half their faces being exposed to the surface of a pool with piranhas. It was the first bad dream I've had in a really long time. I woke up just before the twins started to tie me up. And I woke up crying. It would make a pretty good horror movie.

I think it would be the most interesting video on RU-vid.

Twilight UnderSky Exactly and then sign of relief you get....

Yes! When something bad is just about to happen, I wake up suddenly and appreciate that I am alive..

I do that too but I will have to forcibly make myself wake up, not sure how exactly but I would succeed in what felt like a few seconds to minutes. Though I sometimes overlook any bad or abnormal signs and be jump scared basically. Either that or I do notice but I play with it and I would regret it afterwards.

Right! This has happened many times

Yea same with me
