Also, the fact that fetuses in the womb have rapid eye movement is so interesting to me considering the brain doesn't start developing until the 26-28th week. ]]> 2017-08-09 16:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hcarter0306/gbemj30xasep/wish/180497772 hcarter0306 https://padlet.com/hcarter0306/gbemj30xasep/wish/180498882 It's very fascinating to me how almost all mammals have REM sleep but reptiles do not! I am curious to know why REM sleep has evolved and how it became part of our genetic "legacy" to be apart of our survival skills. ]]> 2017-08-09 16:14:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hcarter0306/gbemj30xasep/wish/180498882 hcarter0306 https://padlet.com/hcarter0306/gbemj30xasep/wish/180500727 It is said that during REM sleep, our daily experiences can be replayed as our dreams at night. I can for sure back that up with my own experiences. This past summer, I work several double shifts as a server, meaning that I was on my feet for over 12 hours. When I got done with my shift I would fall asleep instantly from exhaustion but oddly enough I would experience anxiety in my dream that I had to go and refill my tables drink or be on my toes at all times to take care of my tables. Most nights I would wake up because I had such bad anxiety because I was afraid that my tables were going to tip me unfairly or write a bad review about the restaurant.

Are dreams really producing messages to your brain? Are reoccurring dreams something that you are worried about or have anxiety about? Do dreams actually have a meaning or are they just apart of our imagination? ]]> 2017-08-09 16:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/hcarter0306/gbemj30xasep/wish/180501847
