lolz what a creepy title. I don't like that word very much, brains, it freaks me out. lolz But if you just say brain then that’s okay. lolz is weird.
Well anywho I was just watching this show on the scfi channel about the human brain and they had a little part about dreams, and I thought It was really interesting.
They first talked about what happens when you dream, like rapid eye movement, meaning your eyes move back and forth in at a fast speed while you are dreaming. I knew that but what I didn't know was that your brain sends singles to your spinal cord to paralyze you while you’re dreaming; this prevents you from sleep walking. They also said while you are asleep the part of your brain that controls logic is completely shut off, which is what causes dreams to be so odd.
You’ll probably know that while you are dreaming your brain is sorting out things that happened that day. It stores important stuff in the long term memory and unimportant stuff stays in the short term memory. We see dreams because off the sorting, and because our logic is turned off things tend to form together making a dream seem totally bizarre.
They also talked about lucid dreams (when you know your dreaming) and about how we can control them and stuff. They said your brain is most creative while you are asleep so being able to control your dreams could be really helpful to artists and architects. I just like to control my dreams for fun. xD Make cool things happen.
Oh and one last thing, it may seem that you dream all at once, but you actually see dreams in sort little five minute bursts all through the night.
Well, I just wanted to share some of that with yous because I thought it was kinda interesting. I think the brain is totally awesome, it really interests me. Like how we have all these different parts, some of them not even in use that scientist believe are used for things such as telepathy and cool stuff you only see in super hero movies. xD We just have to teach our brains how to use it. haha I'm such a science nerd. lolz did you know the brain weighs 3 pounds? lolz okays I'm done now. xD
