Finding Out What Dreams Mean - The Puzzle

Filed under: General Information - 29 Sep 2009

Have you ever thought of finding out what dreams mean? Dreams come in visions, images and motions. There are dreams we like and dreams we hate. Dreams we like are usually are exciting and pleasant. If you had a bad day, pleasant dreams will soothe you. Waking up from pleasant dreams is a nasty experience. We know that once we wake up, we are back to the real world. Bad dreams are quickly forgotten and we do not want to have them again.

Scientists, psychologists, horoscope interpreters, black magicians, spiritual healers and religious people are all fascinated with dreams. They interpret dreams in a different way. They also have various reasons why certain dreams occur. A normal individual will be puzzled by some of these interpretations. It’s also difficult to know the correctness of these interpretations. However, people who are affiliated with a certain religion, cult, culture, or belief will be tend to follow the interpretations of their group or creed.

Personality and background may also determine whether people will believe in dreams or not. Rich and wealthy people will not be worried about dreams as much as lower class people. People with college degrees or diplomas, and high paying jobs will not give a fuss about dreams and their implications. Demographics also come into play. Where you come from may also determine if you are an ardent follower of dreams or not.

People from the city will not care about dreams and their impact, while people from remote areas will dwell much on dreams. Young people and children will not dig too much into dreams as older people. Older people are likely to be more interested in spiritual matters than young adults are. More women than men are interested in what their dreams mean. They will go to the extent of subscribing to horoscopes updates and dream websites.

It is difficult to discuss about dreams and what they mean. Discussion of dreams may seem like nonsense for one section of people. Actually most people are not keen to talk about dreams because the stories are just ridiculous and often childish. After all, if you seriously talk about dreams in your conversations, people will just wave away your statement with a sigh “It’s just a dream. You should not take it seriously”. Dreams are better kept to yourself or else you will come across as a weirdo. If you are interested in dreams, you can quietly browse a series of websites on the net or you can subscribe to have dream interpretations sent to you through e-mail. There are many dream interpretation services on the internet. You only have to choose the ones you like, psychological, spiritual, horoscopes or religious.

Psychologists have managed to track the beginning of dreams in the sleep process. Dreams begin immediately after the fourth stage known as the “delta stage”. At the end of the delta stage, a person may sleepwalk or wet the bed. Dreams occur in the fifth stage known as “REM” or rapid eye movement. In this stage, the brain activity increase and the rate of respiration increases. Muscles relax and eye movement increases.

Try Powerful Sleep To Help With Your Sleeping Problem

Filed under: General Information - 28 Sep 2009

Earlier this year, I found out about a sleep science researcher (Kacper Postawski) who was studying the effects of  insomnia to try to find a cure for this very common and life-disrupting problem. During the course of his research, he made some interesting discoveries about why some people sleep 8, 10, 12 hours a day and still feel tired and why oversleeping like this is actually bad for you.

The reason Kacper’s information grabbed my attention was because he was studying the problem on two levels: The physiological level and the psychological level, using Neuro Liguistic programming (NLP) as one of his tools. I knew he was onto something because one thing I know for certain is that lasting change of any kind – especially health and fitness changes – must be approached from both the physical and mental planes.

In Kacper’s articles, reports and the book he wrote (Powerful Sleep), he mentioned varioius downsides of sleep deprivation I had already heard about from my own research. But he also showed another, little-known side to the story. He pointed out that controlling sleep quality, sleep cycles, light-dark cycles, circadian rhythms and lifestyle factors (exercise, stress, light exposure, drugs, alcohol, caffeine, etc.), are possibly more important than the quantity of sleep itself. I was quite amazed at how Kacper’s findings matched my pre-competition experience.

There was even more: He revealed info on psychological “triggers” and NLP tricks to fall asleep instantly, sleep soundly and wake up energized – automatically. It’s too much info to cover in this column, but Kacper has promised to become one of the contributing writers for Fitness Renaissance, so watch for some of his articles in upcoming issues.

Anyway, the bottom line is that all of this information reinforced what I had thought all along – that the 8 hours of sleep idea wasn’t such a hard and fast rule after all and that I could, by using a few almost embarrassingly simple techniques, not only “get by” on less sleep, but actually optimize my health and improve my muscle building and fat burning efforts.

But I think the biggest benefit for me is that I’ve simply gained more time – because time is life! Almost every person in the industrialized world today complains that they don’t have enough time. Some people even say they don’t have time to do any exercise. If that’s true, then you owe it to yourself to explore ways to give yourself more time.

Strangely enough, one of the things I keep hearing over and over again is that people who exercise regularly don’t need as much sleep. Some of my busiest clients, including Wall Street executives, gave up one hour of sleep and used that time to exercise early in the morning. After a brief adjustment period where some willpower was required, they found that they actually felt better on less sleep once the early morning exercise had become a part of their lifestyle. According to Kacper, “The biggest antidote to feeling tired is exercise and movement, NOT more sleep!”

So… I’m NOT saying sleep is not important for muscle growth and overall health – it is… and the research proves it. The question is HOW MUCH? I’m not saying you personally can get by on 4 or 5 hours. Maybe you do need 7 hours of sleep. Maybe you only need 8. I am only suggesting that you should try and optimize your lifestyle and sleeping patterns for sleep quality first and then see for yourself the impact it has on your energy and your need for sleep quantity. Doing this, people often find that they can drop their sleep time from 9 or 10 hours down to 7 or 8, or even from 7 or 8 hours down to 5 or 6, while at the same time increasing energy, health and free time.

If you pick up an extra hour or two every day, grab your calculator, punch in the numbers and multiply that out over 10 or 20 years and see how much extra time you’ll have in your life to spend doing the things you love to do most.

I do highly recommend Kacper’s book, by the way. If you are interested, you can go look at his website now and download the first two chapters for free.
