    I was very surprised years ago when I discovered that some people dream in black and white.

    I thought dreams, or at least frequent dreams, were a sign of stress?

  10. Robert Misner May 1, 2012 at 5:06 am - Reply

    Let's just say that dreaming or not dreaming, we all have a personality disorder of some kind. I hope.

    I think I dream most nights, but just can't remember the dream after waking…

    I have really scary dreams. I'd say I'd rather have the personality disorder but I probably have that too.

    Its crazy how if someone is at all different, they must have a personality disorder.

    I beg to disagree! as far as I know, dreams are based on our state of being before we drop into slumber. it is mostly an unexpressed desire stored in our subconscious.. but once this is realized.. the dream no longer recurs.. and it doesn't mean that if one do not have dreams, he/she have a personality disorder.

  21. Steven Streight May 1, 2012 at 5:33 am - Reply

    Some believe dreaming is the symptom of a disordered mind trying to make sense of the day's events. Freud said dreaming is wish fulfillment. Ascetics claim that being free from inordinate desires means a cleansing and calming of mind that no longer requires dreaming. Interesting viewpoints.

    You dream while you sleep, you just don't remember them. They've ran all kinds of tests on all kinds of people. Everyone dreams.

  23. Steven Streight May 1, 2012 at 5:36 am - Reply

    Have they run tests on strict ascetics like certain Buddhist monks? I doubt they have run tests on literally every type of person, though I'm sure they have tried to be inclusive.

  24. Erica Housmah May 1, 2012 at 5:38 am - Reply

    I dream a lot too and remember probably half. It has to stick out for me to remember.

    +Brian Wilson There is said to exist a dreamless mental state. It is referred to as Deep Sleep, or "a good night's rest".

    Delta Brain Waves (0.5 to 4 cycles per second) = deep dreamless sleep.

    In Buddhist tradition it is called Turiya.

    Without dreams, life would not make sense.

  27. Naren Mangtani May 1, 2012 at 5:51 am - Reply

    Well at least one test that says I don't have a personality disorder. I'll sleep well tonight.

    go sleep

  29. Steven Streight May 1, 2012 at 5:54 am - Reply

    Life makes a great deal of sense without dreams in sleep. We need vision, ideas, goals, hopes — yes. But dreaming during sleep? Possibly not that necessary.

  30. Brian Wilson May 1, 2012 at 6:13 am - Reply

    Yes, there are dreamless sleep cycles. But during REM, it is shown that people dream. They show the same types of brain wave activity. Your sleep is made up of several of these sleep cycles and you flow from one to the other. Showing me one of 4 sleep cycles proves nothing. I know they haven't tested everyone, but neither have they taken and compared everyone's fingerprints and we can safely say they are all different. I'm safe in my statement that everyone dreams, not everyone remembers those dreams. and more to the point.. there is no correlation between personality disorders and dreaming. Yes, psychopaths dream.

  31. Steven Streight May 1, 2012 at 6:18 am - Reply

    +Brian Wilson LOL :^) Well, I am not convinced that everyone dreams, or that everyone must dream, or that dreaming is necessarily a good thing.

    As I have stated, researchers need to test the ascetic monks and others who claim to be in a state of mind so pure and calm, they don't need to dream and thus do not dream.

    +Steven Streight >We are "safe in our statements" only until a fact rises up to contradict it.

    I can accept that. And if facts arise that show different I have no problem accepting them either.

    +Brian Wilson It's an interesting debate, whether dreams are universal and necessary, or if there are people who really do not dream. I personally wish I did not remember my dreams, for they tend to be disturbing in various ways.

  34. Brian Wilson May 1, 2012 at 6:53 am - Reply

    +Steven Streight I wonder if they're separate ideas.. that dreams are universal and/or necessary. I've had some dreams myself that I'd rather forget, but I tend to subscribe to thought that random thoughts, mishmashed memories and random faces are what make up our dreams. Maybe it's a glimpse into the storing of memories in our brains, it happens so fast and random that we can't make sense of what we're seeing in our subconscious. It will be a long time before we know, if we ever do. And with that.. I must go dream. :)

    The color question is not one for me… The colors I sometimes dream in are beyond realities splendor! Also I dream in my second language easily as much as in my native language… Odd.
    Topics of dreams, anything, but usually loosely related to the day past.

    I still dream, but some I try to not remember, they are of the girl I was on my way to propose to when I became the victim of a drunk driver. After my head was split open my brain was exposed. Hospitalized for 374 of the 500 days expected. I could fill a book just on details I remember over all I owe $1.83 million for not dying.
