They had their Senate, we have the Internet.<\/p>\n Image source<\/a><\/p>\n The Beatty Papyrus is believed to be the oldest ever dream dictionary. It was written around 1350 B.C. and was discovered somewhere near Thebes.

Statistically, about 12% of all people have their dreams in black and white.<\/p>\n Image source<\/a><\/p>\n We experience REM (Rapid Eye Movement) cycles of sleep multiple times every night and dreams occur only during this cycle. A REM stage can last anywhere from 5 minutes to half an hour and people who suffer from various sleep disorders act out on them during the REM stage.<\/p>\n Image source<\/a><\/p>\n We forget about 50% of our dreams right after we wake up and this percentage increases from 95% to 99% in the first 10 minutes. This action is due to the fact that dreaming does not require a lot of concentration so the brain categorizes dreaming as a routine activity such as tying your shoes.<\/p>\n One way of remembering what you dream of is through lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is a term used for describing you being aware about the fact you are dreaming. There are also several methods of achieving the lucid dreaming state.<\/p>\n If you are interested in this subject, find more information about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Image source<\/a><\/p>\n On average, a person can dream up to 7 times a night during the REM cycles so an average person will spend anywhere from one to two hours a night dreaming.<\/p>\n Image source<\/a><\/p>\n Have you ever seen your cat or dog move their paws during their sleep or make unusual sounds? That is why even our furry buddies can dream. Although there is not much known about what they dream about, it probably goes the same as it goes for humans.<\/p>\n Image source<\/a><\/p>\n During the first REM stage of our sleep, which sets roughly about 90 minutes after you have successfully fallen asleep, we experience what it\u2019s called \u201csleep paralysis\u201d. During the REM period, our bodies are basically paralyzed. Some sleeping disorders involving sleep paralysis are described by the people suffering from them as the ability to not be aware you are sleeping and see yourself not being able to move while felling a strange, evil presence in the room with you.<\/p>\n Another strange sleeping disorder is sleepwalking. Sleepwalkers act out on their dreams during the REM cycle and start walking around the house. Some reports have shown that a person was actually able to get in her car and drive to her cousin\u2019s house while sleepwalking.<\/p>\n Image source<\/a><\/p>\n Although men might think that women do not dream of sexual stuff as often as they do, they are wrong according to a study conducted in 2007. However, a similar study was conducted in 2009 who concluded that men dream more about sexual activity and sexual intercourse while women dream about kissing and sexual fantasies. The reliability of both these studies is up to your appreciation.<\/p>\n2.\u00a0Beatty Papyrus<\/h2>\n
