I run a website that specializes in sounds to fall asleep to. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that there is an interesting side effect that occasionally occurs. Lucid dreams. My theory of lucid dreaming is based on current popular beliefs that the big human brain transitions from Alpha (relaxed) to Theta (daydream) to Delta (deep sleep) brainwave patterns. REM sleep occurs near the beginning of Delta sleep and reoccurs through the night in transitional areas of this brainwave state (as we first go into, then come out of Delta) Therefore, I believe that the Theta state (that comfy daydreamy feeling you get right before slipping off to sleep) and REM sleep are inherently tied together and sometimes overlap. |
