Even so, when I ask around, I am amazed at how few people can remember their dreams. What a waste of one third of a life! I'm busy a lot of the time, but at the new year, for the first three days I write every dream down in detail. I think I should do this more often. It's amazing what kinds of insights this provides.<img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=86336" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2006/11/30/The-Rich-Life-You-Lead-While-Dreaming.aspx#86335Sat, 02 Dec 2006 02:41:25 GMT24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:86335Laserman<P>I think that every experience is&nbsp;filed away in the mind. The more relaxed you are (as in sleep) the easier to retrieve these files. The converse is when you are awake, and under stress, and find things difficult to remember, like when you go to introduce someone you have known for years, and you freeze up. </P> <P>During sleep I think you have more resources available to your mind&nbsp;(and fewer distractions)&nbsp;to allow you to work out things,and perhaps there's more of a free flow of thought. You can float above the ground, and your brain doesn't jolt you awake protesting the impossibility.</P><img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=86335" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2006/11/30/The-Rich-Life-You-Lead-While-Dreaming.aspx#86333Fri, 01 Dec 2006 09:50:48 GMT24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:86333friendly curmudgeonThe rich life I lead while dreaming?&nbsp; Dream on!&nbsp; I wake up as poor as ever...<br><img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=86333" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2006/11/30/The-Rich-Life-You-Lead-While-Dreaming.aspx#86332Fri, 01 Dec 2006 03:37:33 GMT24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:86332Desert RoseI rarely remember my dreams and when I do, they just seem silly.&nbsp; Maybe if I took them a little more seriously, I would remember more of them.&nbsp; I also remember ready about a vitamin that will cause you to remember your dreams better.&nbsp;&nbsp;Does anyone know which vitamin that is?&nbsp;<img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=86332" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2006/11/30/The-Rich-Life-You-Lead-While-Dreaming.aspx#86331Thu, 30 Nov 2006 19:59:18 GMT24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:86331mmc88121<P>Very interesting article.&nbsp; Usually the only time I remember my dreams is when I am trying to make sense of something that is happening in my life at the time.&nbsp; I think I will give the dream journal a try and see what happens.&nbsp; </P> <P>mmc88121</P><img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=86331" width="1" height="1">
