Thread: REM in only two hours?

Yeah, I got my REM last night with less than two hours of sleep. I fell asleep somewhere after 12 and remember waking up around 2 drenched in sweat and I remembered 3 dreams.

I did my reality checks and confirmed it was real.

I wake up after/during my REM every night, and I want to know if it's normal to take around 6 hours to reach it and then having it flux down to two.

Thanks, I wasn't thinking about Uberman at first.

You also don't need to be in REM to dream

Really? I thought you did...
so what are nREM dreams like then?

Not as vivid, and they are harder to remember.

Once again, you have blown my mind.

How can you dream before your REM? Can you go lucid in these?

I didn't know you could dream without REM either - woah!

I think perhaps I may have experienced this the other day when I looked at the clock upon waking and saw that not long had passed since the last time I'd looked at the clock, but that I had just been dreamnig of something so terrible chasing me out of the dream and had screamed in a dream of a dream before waking up in reality.

If that makes any sense

Anyway, puppycat, that struck a chord with me. Food for thought. Nice
