Someone is in a room with all their favorite celebrities. They have him stand on the podium and give a speech, but when he stands up, he looks down to see that his pants are missing. While everyone laughs, he starts to fall. He sees the top of the Empire State Building and then sees the sidewalk, but before he hits, he walks awake into a dark tunnel. That experience is known as a dream. “Our dreams combine verbal, visual and emotional stimuli in a sometimes broken, senseless but often ent way. He looks around and sees nothing. Then, out of the darkness, a pair of large red eyes open. The rest of the body enters what little light there is. He's a giant ogre. He chases him for kilometers and captures him. As he grabs him and lifts him up, he wakes up with a start. That experience is known as a dream. “Our dreams combine verbal, visual and emotional stimuli into a sometimes fractured, nonsensical but often entertaining plot” (“How Dreams Work”). Dreams are a virtual world where almost anything can happen. Whether the dream is a nightmare, lucid, daytime, or just a normal dream, everyone dreams. Everyone has dreams, even if they are not remembered. Dreams are the virtual worlds that can distance the dreamer from the real world. This usually occurs during the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep, although dreaming can occur when the dreamer is awake. This phenomenon, daydreaming, occurs when the dreamer lets his mind wander during the day. There is another type of dream called lucid dreaming. This is the moment when the dreamer understands that he is in a dream and is able to control the environment. “Lucid dreaming is your chance to play with the extraordinary abilities buried in unused parts of your brain” (D'Urso). Scientists have it all... half the paper... This is where the dreamer realizes he is in a dream. This usually allows the person to control their environment and be able to do almost anything. The last type is the normal dream state. This is where the dreamer sleeps and enters REM sleep. The person gets lost in a virtual world completely created by himself in his own mind. This is the dream state. Works Cited "Dream". Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, 11 August 2013. Web. 08 November 2013. D'Urso, Beverly. "Lucid dreaming and self-realization".
