Random Thought: Do We Dream In Real Time?
Filed Under (General) by cranst on 10-07-2007
Yesterday morning I woke up from a dream, but of course I can’t remember it now. What crossed my mind was how we dream. I’ve read that we do most of our dreaming in REM sleep, but I haven’t heard at what rate. Do we really dream in real time or do we dream at a much faster rate since our bodies aren’t fatigued by all of the action? It sures feels like I’m cramming a lot of dreaming into such a small portion of my sleep state. Anyone have thoughts or links to studies on this matter?

Who says dreams occur in three dimensional space? Seems to me that the fourth dimension is actively at work during dream states.
