Have you ever had lucid (清醒的) dreams? Recent studies suggest that the number of people having them is on the rise. Someone having a lucid dream realizes they are dreaming and may from then on" direct" the action, or they may simply " watch" the dream unfold. The sense of awareness (知道) makes it different from a dream that is simply very lively and true to life. And although the description may seem strange, the process is far from alien to many of us.
Studies suggest that the number of people in the Western world experiencing lucid dreams, which happen once in a while, has risen by between 10 and 40 per cent since the 1980s. Today, they are so common that about one in eight of us will have one in our lives. But still, little is known about what causes them or what is behind the rise.
Research carried out at the respected Harvard University in the US shows that the brain is working hard during lucid dreams. In fact, the level of the mental (精神
的) activity in some parts of the brain is similar to that of a person who is awake. Lucid dreamers seem to share certain personal characters. For example, in general they are quite creative. They are also good at digging deep into problems and going out of their way to solve them. Furthermore, they always believe in personal responsibility rather than letting society carry the can.
Our nightmares (噩梦) may show our waking worries, with the five most common ones-- falling, being run after, feeling disabled, being late and the death of a loved one. Men are more likely to have nightmares about fights or being fired while hair and tooth loss appear more in women's nightmares-perhaps showing worries about losing their looks. Research has also found that women have more nightmares than men. Their dreams are also scarier and more unforgettable.
About me Hi,everyone!I'm Tony. I grew up in New York,but my family moved back to China a few weeks ago. What I'm looking for My Chinese isn't great. I can speak a little,but I really need to practice with someone. Also,I don't really know anyone my age in Hangzhou. I hope to find someone to help me with my Chinese and to hang out with. In return,maybe I can help you with your English and we can practice together! Hobbies I like going to the movies,playing online games and just hanging out. I like the food here a lot,but I don't really know any good places to eat. Maybe you could introduce me to some cool places to get snacks and drinks. I'd like to start exploring some of the night markets here,too. I'm also starting to get really into photography,so I hope you won't mind me stopping to take some pictures. I'm not interested in sports or anything about pop music,so if you really love those things,then we probably won't have much to talk about. Anything else? Don't be shy. Click here to leave me a message. |
