Dreams are the subject of speculation and theories that do not come to anything. We all believe we understand them and at the same time have no idea what happens in them, but there are certain data that relate to the dreams of all people, some being as inexplicable as the dreams themselves. Let's get to know these 10 facts about dreams ...
10. You can teach yourself to control your dreams
The method is called "lucid dreams", and although there are several ways to start it (some say that drinking apple juice before sleep), there is a totally accepted method, since even some people have been able to do all their lives. Of course, the most common thing for a person who can control their dream is to try to fly.
9. You can not read or know the time while you are dreaming
If you are not sure if you are dreaming or not, try to read something. The vast majority of people are unable to read or distinguish the time on a clock during a dream. This is usually reported by lucid dreamers, since a not very developed dream is constantly forgotten, so it is difficult to know if it has really been read in the dream or simply forgot what was read.
8. The blind people can also dream
All humans dream, except in some cases of extreme psychological disorder; If you think you do not dream, it is more likely that you simply forget them. Even the blind can dream. Those who were blind in some part of their life can reproduce images in dreams, but those who were born blind have somewhat different dreams, represented by other senses such as sound and smell.
7. Women dream about sex as much as men
A stadium held in 2007 showed that women dream so often about issues related to sex as men, although the themes of these dreams vary; women dreaming more often with famous men and men having sex in exciting or unknown settings.

Those who have experienced sleep paralysis can describe it as a real nightmare. It is characterized by an extreme paralysis of the body and a malignant or demonic presence in the room where one is sleeping.

5. Not everyone dreams in color

4. Animals also dream
If you have a pet you have probably seen it move while you sleep, or at least move your eyes quickly. This is because animals also have dreams. Studies have been done on animals and have shown the same brain waves at the time of dreaming that humans.
3. Sleepwalking is more common than it seems
Sleepwalking is a case of sleep disorder. People who experience it often have adventures in the real world without even realizing it, there are extreme and rare cases of people who have dreamed of painting works of art, not remembering when they wake up. But the truth is that approximately 3.6% of the population of the United States suffers from somnambulism, numbers significantly greater than previously believed.
2. Salvador Dalí woke up when falling asleep
In art, it is usually associated with surrealism with the representation of dreams, and being Salvador Dalí the most famous exponent of this movement, it is easy to deduce that his dreams were a great influence for his paintings. Many of us have experienced strange or surreal images in the first moments of the dream, but Salvador Dalí had the brilliant idea of painting them to create those well-remembered paintings.
