0 18 economist sunsuntribune diversions saturday march 20 2004 mind does not shut off when you sleep from page 17 ms roseboroughs school stud ies dreams as part of its examina tion of levels of human universal consciousness she believes many dreams are the product of our minds trying to unload the pressures of the day when people have nonsense dreams with a lot of strange or weird occurrences its a cleaning out its a dumping were detoxify- g all the time but ms roseborough argues there are times when dreams are more meaningful we heal through dreams were taught through dreams it is a time for internal teaching she said adding people on a journey of per sonal discovery are more likely to have meaningful dreams dreams may be the soul trying to teach you through pictures you learn a lot in your dream state it is a way for the soul to communicate with the personality pointing out all people dream even though they may not remem ber them dr daiter said dreams have been a source of fascination for cultures around the world from ancient greeks to native canadians most people believe dreams occur only during rem rapid eye movement portions of sleep but dr daiter said while rem dreams are the bizarre visions that seem to make no sense he said people can also dream more reality- based images in nonrem sleep theres no question you can work out problems in your sleep sleep is anything but rest your brain is highly active actually your brain is more active than when awake the periodic table was discov ered during sleep some people write songs in their sleep he said people often cant figure out a problem during the day and wake up with the solution sleep on it is good advice according to the website for the association for the study of dreams all cultures and religions have looked to dreams as a source of guidance healing and creativity the association said many peo ple dreamed of the terrorist attacks of sept 11 before they happened harriet tubman dreamed of safe routes for slaves to escape on the underground railroad albert einstein and thomas edison both credited dreams with some of their scientific break throughs while billy joel dreams of his music and writers stephen king and robert louis stevenson have dreamed of ideas for their books dr daiter said any notion the mind shuts off during sleep is inac curate sleep is anything but rest he said your brain is highly active actually your brain is more active than when awake admittedly fascinated with dreams dr daiter pointed out many interesting facts including in rem sleep the body is gen erally paralysed with no muscle tone so people dont act out their strange visions babies acquire this muscle paralysis at about one year of age roughly the same time they learn to walk infants dream about half the night adults about a quarter dreaming is important for con solidating memory and learning if you want to retrieve simple tip of the tongue information for a test its better not to sleep the night before if you need to remember complex concepts for a big exam get lots of good sleep the night before dreams which get longer as the night progresses are in colour and real time if you have to get up during the night to go to the bathroom for example and want to get back into a really good dream you were hav ing before you awakened try turn ing over to your other side and it may come flooding back dreams may be the soul trying to teach you through pictures you learn a lot in your dream state it is a way for the soul to communicate with the personality it is a myth you will die in reali ty if you see yourself die in a dream in lucid dreams people can knowingly influence their dreams from a medical point of view dreams can be explained as activa tion of the brain dr daiter said but they do serve meaning they do have some insight they do open up a window into a world we wouldnt otherwise see from an intellectual point of view dr daiter accepts the medical explanations but from a fun place i want to believe the other side ms roseborough feels it is important to look at the symbolism of dreams there is both universal and individual consciousness there are common themes in dreams like falling or flying but you also must look at what these dreams mean for the individual ms roseborough advises look ing for symbolism especially in repetitive dreams rather than liter al interpretations a lot of people anxious during the day will continue that into the dream state you have to look at what you are running away from she said its not that boogey man or the monster in the bushes its a symbol of what youre running away from in life similarly flying happily above the clouds could indicate the dreamer is trying to escape lifes problems people who are grounded happy in their body and world are less likely to have flying dreams ms roseborough said if somebody is very happy fly ing and doesnt want to come down you have to look at whether they are not happy in their lives she said why are they so happy out of this world why cant they integrate happiness in this world y ork region ca r your community career choice serving york region through the erabanner the
