Thread: Delusions when sleeping

Well, I used to dream consistently about some things and I could recall dreams well, ever since I was at least 4 or 5. I still remember flying around my house and down my hallway in laps. I remember scary dreams, and just flat out weird ones. The earliest would be flying and that was probably when I was about 4.

But what do they mean by infrequent content, simple and continuing infrequency.

Does this mean dreams are infrequent in childhood? That they don't have recurring content? Kinda vague I think.


But back to the topic, I think you do not need great visualization skills to day dream vividly/dream vividly while awake. It just needs a certain situation. When we play video games sometimes we 'zone-out' and just play it unconsciously. Does anyone else think that these 'dreams' feel exactly the same except with the added dreaming, and not just a blank mind?

devilkitty - I also can't control them, it's like the instant you realise it's happening, you snap out of it.

The way I read it is that "infrequent content" refers to the fact that the preschool kids had a median recall of only 15%, and "continuing infrequency" refers to the same thing in ages 6-9. And "simple" refers to the static, undeveloped, and unemotional nature of these dreams.
