Dreaming is one of the most mysterious experiences in our lives but what do we actually know about dreams? In actuality, when we fall asleep, our bodies encounter a series of physical changes, the heart rate also increases a bit, we tend to breathe faster and our brainwaves adapt to different states of awareness. Smaller muscles around our mouth, fingers and eyes may twitch while sleeping, larger muscles can't move as freely as they would while awake. Thus, we can't act out our dreams.
Dreaming is an experience, which occurs while we sleep and often includes pictures, voices or sounds, thoughts, and other kinds of sensations. As we all know that dreams are beyond our control and seem unrealistic many times, some people are conscious about their dreams and can alter different panoramas of it as well. These aspects make dreams so interesting, captivating and bewitching.Dreaming is one of the most mysterious experiences in our lives but what do we actually know about dreams?

You Can Experience An Orgasm in Your Dream
You can not only have sex as pleasurable as in your real life while dreaming, but also experience an orgasm as strong as a real one without any wet results. The sensations felt while lucid dreaming can be as pleasurable and strong as the sensations experienced in the real world.
Blind People Also Dream
Yes, blind people do dream. What they see in their dreams depends on how much they could ever see. If someone has been totally blind since birth, they only have auditory dreams; means they do not see any images in their dreams. If someone such as I, has had a measure of sight, then that person dreams with that measure of sight. I still dream as though I can see, colors included.
You Forgot 90% of Your Dreams
Within 5 minutes of waking, half of your dream if forgotten. Within 10 minutes, 90% is gone. The famous poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, woke one morning having had a fantastic dream, he put pen to paper and began to describe his “vision in a dream” in what has become one of English's most famous poems: Kubla Khan.
Men and Women Dream Differently
Every human being dreams, but men and women have different dreams and different physical reactions. Men tend to dream more about other men, while women tend to dream equally about men and women. In addition, both men and women experience sexually related physical reactions to their dreams regardless of whether the dream is sexual in nature; males experience erections and females experience increased vaginal blood flow
One-Third of Our Life is Spent on Dreams
It is found in a recent research that a dream can last anywhere between 1 and 2 hours; sometimes dreams last only 10 or 15 minutes. In our lifetime on an average, we spend 6 years dreaming.
Not Everybody Dreams in Color
Full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and white. The remaining number dream in full color. Studies from 1915 through to the 1950s maintained that the majority of dreams were in black and white, but these results began to change in the 1960s. Today only 4.4% of the dreams of under-25 year-olds are in black and white. Recent research has suggested that those changing results may be linked to the switch from black-and-white film and TV to color media
You Become Paralyzed When You Dream
Do you remember any instance where you were not able to move at all during your dreams? This is because you become paralyzed when you dream. In such an instance, a person who is dreaming will be aware of the surroundings and at the same time will be dreaming. I have had this experience. How about you?
Animals Dream Too
Studies have been done on many different animals, and they all show the same brain waves during dreaming sleep as humans. Watch a dog sleeping sometime. The paws move like they are running and they make yipping sounds as if they are chasing something in a dream
