Question! I have not seen this on any of the threads!
Hey everyone, im new to this forum but I want to say it appears to be very helpful and informative. However, there is one question (two if you count my poll, please answer) that I was wondering.
Ok, so when your dreaming you go through whats called REM, or so ive read, and this rapid eye movement only occurs when your dreaming. But just about every site I have read mentions that the length of your REM increases as you continue to sleep. Now lets say you are having a non-lucid dream, what would probably happen is after a short period of time your first "phase" of REM would stop and you would sink back into a different level of sleep.(Non-REM) However, what if you are having a dream during your first REM(the shortest one) and you become lucid, finally gaining complete control of your dream, is it possible to keep your first(shortest) REM lasting longer since you are now in control your dream? :?:
Naturally almost all dream related topics are very confusing, but if you anyone could please make an effort to understand what im trying to say and add any value to my question I would appreciate it. :wink:
