so it’s true…our spirits actually leave our body..whoa scary

I have no idea. That’ was Shie’s opinion. But it seemed to me that in my dream I traveled through time. I tend to think it just shows the power of our minds, our imaginations, but then I can’t explain how I still saw figures after I woke up.

thats so cool.
and creepy
too bad there wasnt a way to prove this stuff yet

If anyone wanted to look at it further, a psychological approach would be good. Some believe that dreaming is your mind, i guess being playful and letting your creative side loose. It can also be identified the times in which you dream cause your eyes start rolling around and your brain activity increases but your heart rate remains quite low.

So maybe that sort of out of body experience is somewhere and between and if they did some study on people whom have similiar expiriences regularly, you’d be able to identify some trends.

string theory! what you saw could be a tiny fracture in the space time continuum where you were in another dimension for a quick second! or it just could have been a dream your mind is a powerful tool it can make you think certain things!

It could be possible that you were in that half-dream state where physical events in the waking world can influence your dreams. I know that I have been half asleep in the morning and people talking elsewhere in the house will be like they are talking in my dreams.

You mean that even when you are home alone there is no noise around or people in other houses? Not even a dog barking?

Maybe you should just be proud. There are some people who have dreams so vivid they dream in color. Maybe you’re just able to do something that most brains are usually not strong enough to handle.

Sounds rather like you had an awesome dream :)

When we reach REM cycle our brains start sending random electrical impulses throughout our brain, this helps build new neural associations (dual pathways to access one part of the brain) thus binding our memories by making it easier to think of one thing by thinking about another. Thus when I think about Summer, it also activates the linked neural pathway to my memory of Lake Tahoe.

The human mind is absolutely obsessed with making sense of things. With all these random electrical impulses firing throughout our brain causing chaotic visual, aural, memory, and muscular bursts of activity our brain ties it all together to make a story, a dream. Same thing happens in Korsakoff’s syndrome… except you are awake at the time :)

Honestly, sleep is really one of the coolest things we do… what if I said to you “Hey I’ll be right back, I’m gonna head home and for 2 hours or so slip into a coma, experience a storm of chaotic electrical activity in my prefrontal cortex, hallucinate, suffer Korsakoff’s as a result and potentially have retrograde amnesia regarding the whole event!” (With thanks to XKCD)
