Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the differences you have in your dreams if you sleep on you left side or your right side. Seems my dreams are more coherent (and therefore more memorable) if I sleep on my left side. I'm wondering if it may be a blood flow issue, if you're laying on one side the blood would seem to be more plentiful on that side. But this kinda goes against an embedded memory I have of the right brain crunching the analytical aspects, whereas the left processes the more abstract thoughts. Maybe too much blood and not enough circulation? Or maybe dreams come from a slight starvation of blood? Maybe I know little to nothing of the human brain? This site is so huge I didn't try to do a search on this, if it's been asked before I'm sorry. But dreams fascinate me, I'd love nothing more than to be in one forever, but alas. Of course I very seldom have bad ones, I know a lot of people do have nightmares quite often, but that's another poll, one I'm sure has already been taken.
I'm not really sure about that. I voted for "right side" but I meant "left side" because I seem to fall asleep faster and not wake up as much when I can sleep on my left side. Unfortunately I often can't sleep on my left.
I have absolutely no idea. I toss and turn so much throughout the night, it's difficult to pinpoint which side may or may not create the more coherent dreams. Interesting speculation though.
What makes you think that you're not dreaming during the day? Thinking in pictures is dreaming and thinking in words (second removed from symbolic pictures) is imagination, desire, day dreaming, wishful thinking, sexual fantasy, you're still thinking of the future in respect to the past. Every time you watch a TV show, the news, movie, sport event, you are transported to another world, your imagination runs wild. If you're slightly overweight or overweight, the fat in your chest may may put more pressure on your heart giving you heart palipations or raising your blood pressure. One can cause oxygen starvation or when you move it causes an inrush of blood to the brain. To enjoy your dreams more, just increase your intake of water, vegetables, minerals and vitamins, and decrease alcohol, meats, fats and sugars. Exercise which tires the body but which doesn't damage any muscles will contribute to a restfull night's sleep. Nothingh like a pinched nerve to signal the onset of dreams since the temporarily damaged nerves will not get enough oxygen to the cells surrounding the injury. Keep the brain's glands well oiled...
i have no idea, i can wake up the other side of the room, let alone know what side i slept on.. peacex
