Dreams

[Darkbrady]

Most nights yeah, I just drop off and don't wake up for hours. It takes me ages to get to sleep but when I fall asleep I'm just dead to the world

Aye...I wish I was anythin' more like that.
It can take me countless hours to fall asleep and then I'm almost guaranteed to wake up within two hours...I can usually get back to sleep pretty fast, but I'll still wake up soon after again. Screws me over 'cuz I can never really get into a deep sleep for very long; makes me permantaly tired; also means I spend a lot of time rememberin' my dreams.
I honestly don't know the last time I managed to sleep 8 hours straight.

I have had prophetic dreams, but never anything of importance, just trivial bits of a conversation or an event in my life of no obvious significance.

They did an experiment on that, to try and put some science behind that; they reckon that there's a selective memory effect on a large series of random dreams, some of them tend to wind up bein' similar to later real life events and the mind remembers a dream, thinkin' that it was a prediction.

Although, this probably summarised it pretty well.

In one experiment, subjects were asked to write down their dreams in a diary. This prevented the selective memory effect, and the dreams no longer seemed accurate about the future. Another experiment gave subjects a fake diary of a student with apparently precognitive dreams. This diary described events from the person's life, as well as some predictive dreams and some non-predictive dreams. When subjects were asked to recall the dreams they had read, they remembered more of the successful predictions than unsuccessful ones.
