You may never knew this, but here are some facts about sleep:

1: Toddlers around age 3 and 4 do not include themselves in their dreams.

2: Around 5-10 minutes after waking, you will forget what your dream was.

3: Where you sleep will make the type of dream you're in, i.e. If you're sleeping and your next door neighbor is rocking away at their guitar, you may end up having a dream about being at a concert.

4: The average human spends 6 years of his/her life sleeping.

5: The average human will have their first nightmare at 6. (orlynao?)

6: Most of the time, when you are dreaming, you are likely to be unable to control your dreams.

7: When it is believed to be that if you wake a sleepwalker, they die because the spirit leaves the body for a bit, it's actually the nerves in your system get "startled", making that person "Startled", and indirectly causing a heart attack.

8: One of the oldest known songs about dreaming is "Beautiful Dreamer", sung casually in barber shops in the mid-to-late 1800's.

9: Dreaming about freefalling will cause your body to react as if it really WERE falling.

10: Whether or not you're a hearvy sleeper or not determines how much brain activity you hqve while sleeping. i.e. Heavy Sleeper=Low Brain activity, Light Sleeper=High Brain activity.

So, which ones fascinated you? Which ones did you never knew about? Which ones do you think are odd? Discuss it below.

I actually can feel things in my sleep. Which would be good if I could control my dream.

I had lots of bad dreams. I had a fear of automatic flushing toilets and arts still do. When I was little I had dreams off the automatic toilet coming alive and eating me. Then it would chase me so I climbed on top of my grandmas house and it climbed to. I was at my grandmas and my uncle who loves U GI Oh had had the cards and at night, a toilet appeared onto the cards nd a note was sent from the toilet telling us to leave, when we walked out a toilet was there. These are all different toilet dreams.

Then there's the one about me being in a car moving through a wooded area with trees etc. and the tree are reaching out trying to get me, no one else in the car nor drivers seat. I climbed to the ground they were sill reaching. Just regular tres. No face r anything. CREEPY

My nightmare: I didn't sharpen my pencil so the Lion King came and ate me. He pooed me into a block and I woke up sitting on my toilet.

Number 9, I've been through a lot. I just HATE those violent jerks you get when you are about to hit the ground in your dream. >.<

I hate falling in my dream because I never land; I keep waking up.

Oh, and as soon as flying is included in my dreams, I get full control over that dream.

My first nightmare was when my mom left the car. So I was really young and nervous. Then zombies started coming. Then the car was speeding and no one was in the drivers seat but the wheel was moving ;_;

Since we're talking about car-related nightmares

When I was young, I had several nightmares of me sitting in the drivers seat, then the car backing out then floating off into the sky
