Thread: Questions

EDIT - After further research, what I've found is that somnambulism occurs during NREM sleep stages, NOT during REM, so it is not related to dreaming. Unless dreams occur during NREM sleep, which there is some debate about still. Or, maybe somnambulism is a result of non-SP hypnagogic imagery.

Yes. I've only recalled a couple of them. It is harder to do than when in REM, more difficult to recall and more difficult to stay stable and retain lucidity. (How many non-REM dreams do you remember? The only time I ever recall them is if my earliest stages of sleep are interrupted.)

How do you know you weren't in REM? Maybe you had some sleep-onset REM (not too uncommon). I just ask because, while there is some dissent, the general consensus is that dreams only happen in REM. If you have some strong evidence either way, I'd be interested at least in hearing it.
