Informative Speech On Dream Analysis

Did you know that dreams might have a deeper meaning that could give you insight to your life? Whether your dream was strange, funny, or you just enjoyed the experience, we have all wondered why we had those dreams Today, I am going to be informing you about dreams and dream interpretation. I have always been curious about why we dream and what they mean. I have done extensive research to learn more about dream interpretation. First, I will tell you about dreams themselves. Second, I will tell you about the history of dreams and dream interpretation. Finally, I will tell you about dream interpretation and what lies within dreams.

1. Your body goes through 4 stages of sleep. REM (rapid eye movement) is the 4th stage and when you do most of your dreaming. “While you are dreaming, your body undergoes noticeable changes.  Your adrenaline rises, your blood pressure increases, and you heart beats faster. Given this hyperactivity, it should be no surprise how someone with a weak heart can die in their sleep (dreammoods.com).” It usually takes 30-90 minutes to reach REM, a person goes in and out of REM 4-7 times a night. During REM your eyes rapidly move back and forth under the eyelids. Our bodies are completely immobile and muscles are relaxed. You may shift around in your sleep but when in REM you are completely still.

Dreaming, although a substantial component of our nighttime lives, remains somewhat of an enigma due to the fact that it occurs while we are unconscious. The inaccessibility of the unconscious mind weakens full analysis and comprehension of dreaming which researchers have been attempting to accomplish. However, over the years many researchers have elucidated many mysteries about dreams, such as when we dream, why we dream, and what we dream about, in order to bring forth an understanding of dreams as well as identify

The humankind throughout history has tried to learn and figure out the meaning of dreaming. The interpretations and true meanings of dreams has expanded and has varied over centuries and cultures. Many of the earlier studies were based on culture’s and the interpretation of dreams, but also used as a form of prophecy, inspiration, and guidance. Many people still believe this such, people today beliefs and theories have opened up to a more vast interpretation, they are made up of; dreams are rare brain activity, dreams allow people to reflect on themselves, or that dreams are too massive to be correctly interpret. Although, not a single theory has been proven to this day, science as of why dreams occur is still a mystery.

This is a short article written by a collaboration of people by a company named Today’s Science. Their main goal was to describe the pattern of sleep a human goes through during the night. This cycle is called NREM and REM, non-rapid eye movement and rapid eye movement. They mostly describe what happens during sleep because without sleeping you could not dream. Dreaming occurs during the rapid eye movement cyc

To many people, dreams are the thoughts that occur while sleeping, having almost mystic qualities. For millennia the significance of dreams has escaped even the brightest of philosophers and intellectuals. Many people have speculated about why people dream and what meanings the dreams have but in recent times two theories have gained credibility in answering those questions. The first theory is Sigmund Freuds and the other is known as the cognitive theory of dreams also known as biological determinism.

Jordan Doane Informative Speech Outline Introduction to Human Communications September 27, 2014 Dreams Topic: Dreams Specific Purpose: After listening to my speech, my audience will understand more about dreams. Central Idea: Dreams, the history and process in which they occur and the different types of dreams along with the meaning behind them Introduction: Attention Getter:

Rapid Eye Movement sleep is the process that allows for a person to recall what their dreams were about. The periods in which Rapid Eye Movement occurs are known as phasic periods and those periods that occur without Rapid Eye movement are known as tonic periods. Although people have come to the understanding that dreaming and recollection occur during the REM sleep period, there are still three theories as to how this occurs. The theories are: the scanning hypothesis, the activation-synthesis hypothesis, and the sensory-image-free association hypothesis. The scanning process reflects the dreamer’s voluntary watching of visual imagesduring the dreaming process. The activation-synthesis hypothesis puts into context that rapid eye movement occurs at the same

Dreams can function as a window into a character’s

The researchers did this because when the participants were in the middle of a lucid dream they would motion their eyelids. The EEGs told the researchers that the participant was in a REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Scientists used to dispute on if people could have lucid dreams or not but this is not the case nowadays. Now they dispute on if the person is actually controlling the dream.

Rapid Eye Movement(REM) has been correlated with dreams and sleep physiology. It has been tracked by brain waves and muscle movements. Non-Rem(NREM) sleep is the first phase which occurs for 1-7 minutes and the easiest to be interfered with. The brain begins firing betawaves every 15-30 seconds. After a while the person becomes asleep and breathing regularly between 6-8 seconds in the second stage. The heart rate begins to slow down and so does the blood pressure. In the third stage there are more thetawaves along with sleep spindles(sigma waves) and k-waves. Most of the noise are lock out and the heart rate and blood pressure are decreasing. In the fourth phase there are thetawaves in the appearance of delta waves firing at 1-5 seconds. The last and final stage, the person is in their deepest sleep and it is very difficult to wake up. The heart rate and blood pressure are at their lowest and the delta wave are blasting every 1-5 seconds.

Dreams are series of thought, stories, ideas, emotions that happen unintentionally in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Human sleep occurs in several cycles during the night, each cycles consisting of five stages. Light sleep to very deep sleep are ranging during the first four stages, EEG machine shows that the brain activities are decreasing by demonstrating the electrical wave rhythms from first to fourth stage. The four stages can categorized as non-REM sleep (or slow-wave sleep). However, during the fifth stage, there are increased activity of the brain which is associated with rapid eye movement (REM). Due to the increased activity of the brain, most of the dreams happen during REM sleep. People dreams all night long. According to scientific American, each person dreams three to five times per night, some may up to seven

Thesis: Understanding how dreams occur, how they affect our lives and what they mean to help us grasp what dreams actually are.

I chose to research a topic that can relate to anybody: dreams. It is something people are less inclined to think of as socially applicable; rather, they think dreams are personal. Perhaps through further analysis and study, more applications for dreams in social life can be found. Dreams may tell a lot more about how a person functions in society than might be originally thought. In this paper, I will review some of the ways people interact with others in and through dreams.

Since the beginning of time, dreams have been a mysterious wonder amongst humans. Everyone has dreams, and people who say they do not in fact do, but just don’t remember their dreams or recall the information that was in them. A person spends somewhere around six years of their life dreaming, which is about 2,100 days in a dream world (dreamfacts). A lot of people often have weird and unexplained dreams that they usually just overlook, or don’t remember, but research is showing that there is meaning behind dreams. In the Ancient time, the Greeks and Romans would visit dream temples to search their dreams as messages from the Gods (Gackenbach and Bosveld, 1989). Nowadays, through studies and research,
