As I was finishing off some coding just before sleep, I came to think that sleeping is really a bizarre activity that takes up a huge part of our life. Every night, for the next several hours, while the sun is gone, we’re going to become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything we know and understand. When the sun returns☀️, we’ll resume our life as if nothing happened.
Sleeping while awake
The alternative reality during the dreaming phase can be very fascinating, but the untrained mind can’t even do simple tasks such as tell the time or read something in their dreams. However, there is a whole subculture of people practicing what is called lucid or conscious dreaming by using various techniques. These people are learning to become aware that they’re dreaming, assume control over experiences and recall much of it during the wakeful state.
Here is a video briefly explaining the phenomenon:
Dreams inspiring many of the greatest inventions
Did you know that dreams are responsible for many of the greatest inventions of mankind🌠? Some examples are Larry Page dreaming about Google, Nikola Tesla dreaming about the AC technology, James Watson about DNA’s double helix spiral form and Dimitry Mendeleyev about the periodic table.
I find it pretty mindboggling that even with all our latest technological advancements, science still has a very incomplete understanding of dream state🧠 . So, let's think about it for a moment, try to fully appreciate the amazing mysteries of dreaming and see if we can alter them to create a better reality.
